An important component of China Mobile’s overall telecom billing system,
the new content billing system will perform comprehensive analysis of
customer usage data and provide higher flexibility in handling content
billing related to data and value added services.
“We are excited about this opportunity to enhance China Mobile’s
content billing capabilities,” said Steve Zhang, President and CEO of
AsiaInfo. “When 3G becomes a reality, telecom carriers will look to expand
and differentiate their data services offerings. AsiaInfo’s new content
billing system will help prepare China Mobile to meet the demand in this
area.”
Mr. Zhang noted that demands on telecom billing systems continue to
increase as China’s carriers roll out new data service offerings in areas
such as music download, entertainment, WAP and mobile media.
