With World Telemedia Marbella just weeks away (18-20 October) we talk to some of the key players, speakers and exhibitors about what they will be looking to get from the show and why you should be there…
Oxygen8 wants to meet new customers who are looking to integrate mobile payments. Oxygen8 staff are well experienced within telecommunications and are happy to consult and advise new players in the market about the global payments space and how mobile has such a compelling role moving forward.
We have an increasing Africa footprint: Oxygen8 remain a leading mobile payments provider globally and we are increasing our connections in South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Mozambique and Kenya during 2016 & 2017. Mobile Money in Africa – Similar to Safaricom’s MPESA solution, Oxygen8 can now offer the purchase of physical goods via carrier billing in Africa with up to 97% payouts.
We also offer USSD in Africa – USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Services Data) is an old technology (2 way conversation) which works good in Africa as most people have low level phones.
In the UK we offer Virtual Mobile Numbers (VMN), VMN voice & text, International voice and domestic PRS and we are focusing on DCB opportunities
We are also launching of physical goods mobile billing for UK merchants, through the use of Oxygen8’s own e-money licence and platforms. Launching in collaboration and partnership with UK MNO’s.
Telecom2 and its team have been attending World Telemedia for many years, for anyone involved in the payments, telecoms fixed and mobile space this is the must attend show for new business, building existing relationships and informative sessions to keep you up to date on the latest innovations and regulatory changes.
Telecom2 will be available for discussing the new Spanish ranges from our Spanish company Advanced Voice and our 2Reach product that comes as our standard package for customers to easily view our ranges for access from particular countries and from mobile and fixed networks to find the right number range for you and your customers.
Alan Partington will also be hosting a session entitled Addressing billing disputes and AITs in UK domestic voice. Over the last few years there has been a lack of clarity on following contractual detail and commercial awareness that means an increase in spurious and blanket retentions and an increase in billing disputes resulting in operators being penalised with businesses and reputations damaged.
The aim is to look at how to handle disputes and AIT cases and to discuss what can be done to encourage Ofcom to take an active role in the regulation of the Standard Interconnect Agreement, If you are a business owner, Billing manager or financial Manager or Director then this is a must attend session at WTM this year
The Veoo team are really excited to be strategically involved with World Telemedia this year. With new products, new global offices and an increased product range, Veoo really is putting mobile on the map. Catch Veoo CEO, Matthew Winters expand on mobile wallet features, new to market content, charge to mobile updates and much more. Mobile technology is without a doubt the most consistently used technology by any age group and breakthroughs in handset resolution, data capacity, pricing and security mean that 7/10 tasks can be managed from a mobile. In the UK alone, 97% of the population keep a mobile with them at all times, so the hard work has already been done! Potential customers are already walking around with a single device that consolidates things they use on a daily basis. The ball is now in the court of individual businesses to put an already established engagement technology at the centre of their marketing strategy. In a growing and changing market Veoo and World Telemedia will show that expansion can mean innovation rather than saturation.
