• Market competition makes it essential for CSPs to provide next generation services; this increases the number of partners that CSPs have to deal with.
• Services are complex, partnerships equally in the form of content partners, content aggregators etc.
• Content introduction into telecom market also introduces complex revenue sharing scenarios increasing the complication in accurately rating traffic
• Although content presents huge revenue potential for CSPs, eff­ective management of partners and accurate billing is key to actual realization of revenues.
