Best practices
for subscriber identity management
Based on our firsthand
experiences with Tier 1 network operators
in Western Europe and the United
States, we have observed the following
best practices for subscriber identity
management in wireless and FMC networks:
-
Give subscribers
simple and convenient control
of their privacy, preferences,
and permissive identify sharing
-
Offer secure
and trusted protection of subscriber
data by refraining from disclosing
it easily or incorrectly to third
parties
-
Leverage user-data
analytics to proactively identify
their persona to discover and
permissively offer new services
that are relevant and valuable
to them
-
Create one common
point of federated subscriber
privacy and preference data across
networks for use by all FMC services
and third party applications
-
Leverage the
consolidated and federated subscriber
data to support the advent of
next-generation services by ensuring
that appropriate subscriber-centric
QoS levels are applied proactively

Conclusion
Clearly,
FMC brings with it significant
benefits, chief among them
the ability to supply communication
services ubiquitously while
supporting nomadic and
mobile capabilities. To
remain competitive, however,
FMC network providers must
be able to differentiate
their service offerings
by delivering compelling
features (e.g. guaranteed
QoS levels) and capabilities
(e.g. the ability to enable
3rd-party service and content
providers to deliver optimized
services) quickly and efficiently
while maintaining subscriber
privacy. Only those FMC
providers that are able
to deliver the greatest
convenience and value,
and create the most efficient
value chains will succeed
in attracting the top content
providers and the most
loyal and profitable customers.
