- Excellent quality food, less than desirable tasteOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/23/2014We are foodies. My husband and I are early 40's and for the past 15 years our favorite "hobby" is eating at different restaurants. Finding those rare gems that are unique but not weird, full of flavor, that inspire us to recreate dishes at home! Del Frisco's Grille was just not what I expected. I ordered the 8oz filet (med. rare), creamed kale, and garlic mashed potatoes. The med. rare was rare, which would be fine but it had no flavor. It was a beautiful cut of meat, seared lightly on all sides, with a hint of salt and pepper. Such a waste of a meat :( The kale was gorgeous and I was excited to see creamed kale, not spinach, but basically it was lightly sautéed kale with some cream dumped on top. It didn't appear to be cooked together to take advantage of the mixing of flavors. The mashed potatoes were fine, they did have lumps and skins, but I am not opposed to a rustic potato. Service was great, the view of Sundance Square and Santa was a hit for my 7 and 9 year old. We have avoided Del Frisco's Double Eagle for years because of the hype, we prefer the places that are good for their food and not their name, but we tried the Grille in a rush to go to Bass Hall. I might consider trying it again because the quality of food was excellent, service was good, and ambiance was nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service is rarely up to standardSarahpdfwVIPDined on 11/23/2014I've only had one suitable waiter the twenty times I've been to the Del Frisco's Grille in Fort Worth. The hostesses barely acknowledge you and ask you to wait while they do unknown things behind their stand (before even greeting you or asking how many, if there's a reservation, etc). This past time I went, the waiter only came by to take my order and bring me my check. I had my credit card out waiting for 8 minutes before I even got the check. At this point, he was coming for a drink refill (only one), and my plate was empty, but I still had to actually ask for the check. He never smiled even though I did, which made me feel like I should have stayed home. And, then another person brought me my credit card back. I guess that was better than waiting longer for my waiter, but it felt rude since I never saw him throughout my meal. Brunch was wonderful. I've never had a bad meal here. However, I've only found one waiter who should be working here. So disappointing. Why can't they find waitstaff who are attentive and friendly? This is Fort Worth....a usually friendly place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/22/2014Most people come to DFG for a special occasion, and we went for my birthday dinner with 8 people. We made a reservation weeks in advance and arranged childcare. Overall, we would not go back to DFG in Fort Worth again. While there, our car was hit while parked with the valet; we were taken to two different tables by the hostess, upon arrival, only to be told the table wasn't ready yet after all; the food was sub-par with the lamb burger and fries being mushy; the server dropped food on my new silk shirt and didn't apologize. For the high prices compared to other restaurants, we expected much better food and service. We won't be going back to DFG in Fort Worth.
- Birthday DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/22/2014We went to Del Frisco's grill for a birthday dinner. We had the filet and the veal meatloaf. Both were delicious. Excellent service at the bar and the entire management team was very attentive. You can view the Sundance Sq events from the Resturant including the Christmas treeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Was a little disappointed with this timeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014Service was good but very slow and I have been there when it is busy, it took 10 minutes to get water, then after that it took a while on the other drinks. Our food was good, the Short Ribs was a little too thick. All in all we will be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No reason to go backHardtopleaseVIPDined on 11/21/2014I ordered my steak medium and my wife ordered her salmon well done. Both were served rare.
- Overlooks Sundance SquareKKG517Dined on 11/21/2014We were able to sit outside, right next to all the Christmas decorations in Sundance Square before going to Bass Hall. Heaters are available, if needed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TokyoTomDined on 11/19/2014Great food, reasonable prices, fantastic location downtown Fort Worth. Kudos. I'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun evening with great food and viewsRebeckahtxVIPDined on 11/19/2014Had a great evening with girlfriends for happy hour. We had several appetizers and specialty drinks all with superb service. Flat breads were a highlight. Wait staff is attentive and knowledgeable. It got very noisy as it got busier but not too much for our table conversation. We had a spacious booth at window with a view of the square decorated for the holidays.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Birthday Celebration!celebrateDined on 11/15/2014Great! Great! Great! We had a great time. Food was prepared wonderfully. Atmosphere is great. We will definitely be back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DinnerDineoutmoreoftenDined on 11/15/2014Tried Del Frisco's for the first with my wife and two friends. The food was great. Steaks and sole were tasty and portions were good. Dessert was decadent...try the coconut pie and warm chocolate cake. The waiter was mostly attentive and was very friendly, but there were some service gaps. To be fair, the dining room was busy so our server was pretty tied up with other customers. Two errors on our dessert orders were fixed quickly. Overall, I would recommend Del Frisco's to anyone. The couple of service gaps were not deal-breakers and we overlooked them quickly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BuffaloDined on 11/14/2014Great food,great atmosphere,good service. Fun place to have a casual dinner or celebrate a special occasion. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/12/2014We enjoyed both the food and service immensely. Food was unique and very tasty!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- poulsenkwDined on 11/12/2014Reserved a table for a pre-Bass Hall concert dinner. Table was ready when we arrived 1.5 hours before the concert. Everyone understood the timing required for many of their patrons to make the concert start. Service was superb by both the normal wait staff and the sommelier. The food was delightful and as it turned out, the meal was the highlight of the evening. This is now our favorite place for dinner before Bass.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, BAD serviceeatoutVIPDined on 11/10/2014We've eaten here before and everything was great. On this night, our service was the worst ever. I had to request a server to help us, once one was sent and our drink orders were taken, we hoped for smooth sailing--not to be. Two guys deliverd 4 glasses of wine (after a 5 min. wait), and we had to tell them several times which wine went where, the same thing happened with our meals, only this took 6-8 responses regarding where the 5 meals belonged. We felt like we were imposing on the server's time, rather than feeling welcomed to the restaurant. We enjoy DFG's food, and know that they're capable of better service, but we'll think carefully before returning.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experience!kmargaretDined on 11/9/2014Went here with my family to celebrate my birthday the other night. Love the location on the square and the patio seating is fabulous! The food is also very good. We had the rib eye and the filet and I highly recommend them. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful as usualOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 11/9/2014We come here about once a month and everything is always wonderful. We bring our two little girls, and they love the Chicken Schnitzel, and we always get the steak (shhh we actually think its better prepared that Del Frisco's Double Eagle).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family Dinnerturkeydinner2014Dined on 11/8/2014I will be out of town for Thanksgiving, so I planned a family dinner at Del Frisco Grille. I had heard from others that the food was good, so decided to give it a try. I've eaten at Del Frisco's on many occasions, but did not want THAT MUCH food. I loved the serving sizes at the Grille, not overwhelming. My Mom and I split a filet and the shrimp/grits dishes.....OMG, delicious. My only negative comment is that it is loud in there and I see no way to stifle that issue. My Mom is hard of hearing and she could not keep up with the conversations at the table. She loved the food, as did all of us. We want to come back for the Sunday Brunch. Would love for you'll to consider being open on Xmas Day, only a few good places.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A little disappointed....UsuallynotpickyDined on 11/7/2014I was very excited to try this place. I made reservations for 7:15 and we checked in right on time. We were told there would still be a wait but they would come find us when our table was ready. After 45 minutes we went back to the desk... They said they couldn't find us even though we were standing 10 ft from the front desk. Drinks were great but pricey at $11 a pop. Appetizer was good. Dinner was another story. I ordered the veal meatloaf since I was told that was a popular dish. Ended up sending it back. Nothing on the menu looked great so I just asked for desert. Overall, I was really disappointed. Great place for drinks but don't waste money on the food.Special Features:
- WhoaTooFastLoveDined on 11/5/2014This restaurant was recommended by some fellow colleagues and boy were they right. The waitress suggested we order the Cheesesteak Eggrolls (something none of us would have looked twice at) and she was on point. The pairing of the Sweet & Spicy Chili Sauce along with Honey Mustard is a flavor explosion in your mouth. I also enjoyed the wedge salad and Chipotle Three Cheese Mac (it has potato chips on top!) With all this food we didn't save room for desert so I will definitely be back!Special Features:
- Our Date Night...DineoutVIPDined on 10/31/2014We have been very satisfied every time we dine here! Every time is always a wonderful dining out experience! Thanks for being consistent! We highly recommend this restaurant!...;)Special Features:
- Always Good Food & ViewYon57VIPDined on 10/31/2014Congrats to the Grille on Sundance Square Plaza location being open a year! Kitchen is dependable on food quality although we never seem to have the same server twice implying high turnover but servers are always good & knowledgeable. Watch out when ordering bottles from the wine list as vintage year may differ between what you are served & what is listed on the wine list & request manager make price adjustment accordingly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great meal!sugarbearDined on 10/31/2014Another wonderful meal from Del Frisco Grille! Had the flatbread with carmelized onions & grilled mushrooms. Awesome. Our server Courtney was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- patioOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/29/2014Loved sitting outside in nice weather. Will definitely return to the patio. Our first time at The Grille and have not eaten indoors yet, but will try that too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing ExperienceCowtownchickVIPDined on 10/29/2014Hopefully Del's Grille was having an off night, but my friends and I did not have a good experience. I made reservations for 5:45 (usually a ghost town at restaurants) and then called to request an outdoor table. When we arrived, we were told there was a 30 minute wait for an outdoor table. We could clearly see 2 or 3 empty tables. The two very young ladies at the front were insistent that we would be happier upstairs even though outdoor dining was supposedly first come first serve. Once seated, We ordered several appetizers, a $100 bottle of wine and then asked if a salad could be split 3 ways. They refused to split the steak salad for us - and then, the steak was very tough and chewy. A $180 dinner, that was an uphill battle.Special Features:
- Steak ruined itOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/28/2014This place would have got higher ratings from me because the cheesteak egg rolls were amazing wife loved her food and the service was superb but my steak was horrible. I ordered the new York strip and I didn't mind it being 45 dollars if it's worth it. I go to grill on the alley in Dallas once a year for their steak. But this was not worth it at all. It was too red on the inside and burnt on the outside and extremely salty. I only could eat half and left the rest. I didn't want to complain cause the service was great so I just took it as lessoned learned. It was an anniversary dinner and my wife could tell I was not enjoying it. Would not recommendSpecial Features:
- WowV84554Dined on 10/28/2014Had a great meal in a lively, upbeat space with excellent service! Outstanding wine list with excellent choices available in the moderate price range (say $50/bottle) and lots of half-bottle choices as well. Food is excellent, well prepared and presented cleanly. All of the staff - everyone - from front desk to expeditors to waiters to managers - was professional, upbeat and helpful without being intrusive! Great spot on Sundance Square!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great gone averageOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/27/2014Take an amazing space, with great food and kill it with poor service. When they opened service was as expected to support such a great restaurant, now you have to beg for a drink, and wait staff is far from what it was when it opened. Great food, menu, concept, but service the last two visits is weak at best.Special Features:
- DEL BEFORE BASSBASSHALLFANDined on 10/25/2014THE SERVER WAS RESPONSIVE TO OUR GETTING TO THE CONCERT. FOOD WAS REALLY GOOD AS WELL. SUNDANCE SQUARE IS SO NICE AND DEL FRISCO HAS DESIGNED A WONDERFUL COMPLEMENTARY RESTAURANT.Special Features:
- No flavorjaguerecaDined on 10/24/2014I ordered the seared ahi tuna salad and was very disappointed. It was very bland and lacked overall flavor. This is my third visit to Del Frisco's Grill and the second time I was disappointed. I will not return.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/19/2014It was a great experience. I used to go to the Steakhouse, but I like this better because is more affordable and more quiet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Veal meatloaf, yes! Guacamole, nah.OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 10/17/2014The guacamole we ordered as an appetizer was bland. The veal meatloaf, however, was delicious! Will be back for that!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time heredaytimedinerDined on 10/14/2014I am a "first timer" and I was impressed. From the smiling greeting upon entering to the person who seated us to the server, everyone was warm & friendly. We ordered two meals so we could sample each. The shrimp & grits - fabulous!! The Hatch Burger was very good as were the fries (we had little room for many of those!). We particularly enjoyed the view onto Sundance Square. Our server advised how beautiful it is at Christmas so that gave me an idea for a Christmas gift! Thank you for a wonderful experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So SosososaturdaynightVIPDined on 10/11/2014Service early on Saturday evening was spotty at best. Waitress seemed unfamiliar with menu and bar fare. Salmon was over cooked from how it was ordered. Restaurant seems to have declined in service and food quality since opening. The open table reservation though was right on time. Valet parking for that location is tediousSpecial Features:
- OverratedworldwideDined on 10/11/2014With reservations, had to wait 15 minutes with several groups who came in after us being seated before us. Our group size was 3. Finally seated, next to the kitchen directly across from the exit door. Food was overpriced, the quality of the steak (12 oz Filet) was average for a top-end restaurant, the preparation was laughable (peppercorn was almost non-existent), the potato cake was insulting. On a $39.00 piece of meat is a real baked potato that hard or the profit margin that small. Would have enjoyed a glass of wine but the only good red's were available by the bottle. The three sauvignon's offered by the glass ($15.00 per glass) were average bottles that would sell for $20.00 at the local wine shop. Will not be a return guest.
- Great FoodfrequenttravelerVIPDined on 10/10/2014We had not been to Ft. Worth or to a Del Frisco's before. Enjoyed both very much. Location is great. Wine selection was good and right on price point. Meal was great. No complaints here :)
- Anniversary DinnerWPC1Dined on 10/10/2014Wonderful location for a scrumptious anniversary dinner. The lemon cake for dessert was fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New "Go To" Restaurant!WallyDined on 10/7/2014Good menu selections, great food & EXCELLENT service by Ralex!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slop no good bad service over priceTedandnadiaDined on 10/6/2014This food was junk I have had better food to Denny's this was bad I would not remeconded it to anyone a waste of money
- Nice Place, Nice PricesdllandesVIPDined on 10/4/2014We have dined here before on a few occasions and the food is always consistently good. The chopped ceasar salad was somewhat of a disappointment as far as presentation relative to cost is concerned....$16.50 for some chopped lettuce, a few pieces of chicken, and a couple of croutons. Really sad...but my wife liked the taste, it was just poorly presented, and really not indicative of the value that one would expect at that price. The double cheese hatch burger was spot on, and a very good price point. The brioche bun is a bit too much bread for my taste, but I just removed the top bun and continued forth. The cheese steak eggrolls are a definite hit everytime! Thinking seriously about doing two orders of those for my entree next time out.Special Features:

InnoTrans might have been and gone for another two years but Alcatel-Lucent's highlights from the world's largest railway exhibition live on in three videos which are now available to view at any time online.
Hall 4.1 was entirely dedicated to Train Control and Communications for railway networks and Alcatel-Lucent's expertise in this critical field was shown in four key demonstrations: Converged IP/MPLS Network for Railways, Agile Optical Network for Railways, Long Term Evolution (LTE) ground-to-train communications, and Cloud Connected Passenger. A short overview of all of these solutions and their specific applications is now available to view here.
As the video shows, Alcatel-Lucent's LTE Ground-to-Train solutions will be deployed in the Grand Paris project's Telecom System for Future Urban Transport (Systuf). This new communications system is based on LTE, and to demonstrate the capabilities of LTE at InnoTrans, Alcatel-Lucent set up a live LTE network which hosted multiple mission-critical and non mission-critical applications. This included on-board CCTV, emergency communications, live driver view footage feeds, platform video feeds, train location services, and Tetra/PMR voice.
This live LTE network was also the foundation of Alcatel-Lucent's Cloud Connection demonstration, which offered a vision of what the passenger train of the future might look like. The next generation of on-board infotainment services which leverage ultra-broadband connectivity were shown in a multimedia table. As the video shows, the table incorporates on board IPTV, video on-demand services, and online shopping, while passengers can use the service to book a table in the train restaurant, or check to see whether the toilet is occupied.
Perhaps the highlight exhibit for Alcatel-Lucent's was the world-premiere presentation of its Converged IP/MPLS Network for Railways. The demonstration showed how Alcatel-Lucent's IP/MPLS service routers and switches can build a single converged communications network infrastructure that supports all railways services and applications including signalling, as well as provide a smooth migration of existing legacy systems like analogue CCTV and GSM-R base stations to the new network. A brief overview is available in the first video, but for a detailed demonstration of IP/MPLS and its capabilities click here.
An in-depth look at Alcatel-Lucent's agile optical networks for railways is also available in the overview and a third video. This technology is intended to counter cyber security threats to mission-critical applications, with Alcatel-Lucent's latest solutions, Wavelength Tracker, and the 1830 Phototonic Service Switch (PSS), which constantly monitors optical losses and detects any intrusions, on display. PSS can also be fitted with the AES-256 layer 1 encryption module to preserve the integrity of the network, providing network operators with added peace of mind that their networks are protected from even the most sophisticated security threats.
With over 130,000 visitors from more than 100 countries in attendance, the 10th anniversary edition of InnoTrans was the largest exhibition yet. It was also a big success for Alcatel-Lucent. We hope you enjoy our round up of the highlights from our exhibit.]]>
Mobile operators know that small cells deliver efficient, cost-effective wireless coverage since they can be placed anywhere to add or augment service. But while the technological benefits are not in dispute, actual small cell deployment can be a challenge. The very advantage of small cells is also a disadvantage.
That's because unlike macro cells, small cells require many deployments and agreements with many sites. Instead of one deployment, there are several. This adds complexity, especially with small cells outdoors.
The numbers bear this out. A recent study by Informa Telecoms & Media found that roughly 60 percent of the operators it surveyed said that deployment problems were the biggest challenge with small cell technology.
One way to reduce the challenge of small cell deployment is through a collaborative approach, according to a recent TechZine article by Jean Jones, Director of Marketing, Wireless, Alcatel-Lucent, 3 tips for faster small cell deployment.
"As small cell deployments grow in the next few years," noted Jones, a "collaborative approach offers a highly effective way to acquire the sites you'll need. So you can achieve faster, cost-effective deployment on a large scale."
By collaborating with site acquisition specialists, construction companies, cable operators, systems integrators and other key businesses work as partners, wireless operators can get faster, simpler access to all the resources, skills and expertise they need.
Part of this is looking for site acquisition specialists who are pooling their resources with backhaul facility providers, which can give providers quick access to backhaul and skilled technicians.
Alcatel-Lucent, through its Metro Cell Express Site Certification Program, found that operators who leveraged such specialists were able to speed up their small cell deployments by as much as 40 percent. By using such specialists, operators also can reduce acquisition costs by as much as 20 percent, according to Alcatel-Lucent.
A third way to reduce the challenge of small cell deployment is through the use of pre-approved small cell deployment sites.
"With immediate access to these kinds of qualified sites and assets, it's quicker and easier to find locations that put capacity close to your subscribers," noted Jones. "You also save time negotiating with site owners. And you eliminate the effort involved in getting the required permissions."
Mobile operators know the benefits of small cells. But they also know the pain of small cell deployments. With good collaboration and smart use of existing relationships, however, this pain can be greatly reduced.]]>
Field service is often the only face of the company that a customer will ever see, so it's not a surprise that CSPs are striving to make a positive impact on customers in this realm. Achieving full potential in field service saves CSPs a lot of time and money. Productivity and efficiency reviews targeted at field service operations, done correctly, can reinforce other areas of the business by increasing customer satisfaction and improving safety and quality.
Field service has traditionally worked as follows. Something breaks or needs to be installed. The customer notifies the CSP. Dispatch schedules a field service technician. The technician arrives, resolves the issue, then moves on to the next job. While many CSPs have perfected the process of efficiently scheduling technicians, it does not negate the fact that there has been a disruption in a consumer's life or an organization's productivity, and they are likely unhappy as a result.
The CSP is starting from a disadvantaged position and must turn the situation around by providing exceptional field service – or risk losing customers, profits, and opportunities. Inefficient field service increases the amount of time the customer is stuck with a non-performing asset, thereby increasing the amount of time that the customer is not generating revenue from that asset, as well as increasing the amount of time that the customer must spend appeasing his/her own customers. All of this eventually leads to lower renewal rates and, ultimately, CSP customer loss.
So, what does it take to achieve field service excellence? For Alcatel-Lucent, an optimized field service solution empowers lower-cost service methods. This includes remote service, self-service, and fixes by phone or mail from the contact center. An optimized approach incorporates several essential elements, including: automation, mobility, and consolidation and collaboration.
Communications service providers need the ability to automate and remotely manage broadband access network operations at three key stages of the customer lifecycle:
This approach will enable CSPs to accelerate time-to-market, reduce operating expenses, and maximize their capital investments. The ultimate prize, of course, is long-term customer loyalty.
"Best-in-Class organizations prioritize the investment in mobile tools to provide technicians with better access to information in the field. The need to resolve customer issues quickly and efficiently has led to the best firms equipping the field with the right tools to find information in a complex world."[1]
CSPs must decide which corporate systems should be available via mobile device at a customer site in order to most effectively resolve potential issues. On the scheduling/dispatch side, CSPs need to have the GPS aspect of their mobile strategy figured out up front so they can make location-specific scheduling and routing decisions from Day 1 of go-live.
Consolidation and Collaboration:
Maintaining separate dispatch systems or processes for different areas of business is expensive and inefficient. With a single common service management platform, CSPs can comprehensively define, publish and execute advanced service activation, troubleshooting and management logic across the service delivery ecosystem.
If you're still on the fence about leveraging field service as a revenue growth driver, consider this:
Alcatel-Lucent's solutions allow customers to receive a convenient, more personal experience while also allowing executives more visibility into the organization. With our solutions, field agents are more empowered to deliver great service while completing more jobs per day.
Above all, Alcatel-Lucent's field service management solutions get the right field service technician to the right place at the right time – with the right service parts, tools, and information – to get the job done right.

Why I don't use Skype much largely is the result of a savvy move from a telecom provider in Southeast Asia.
I have many friends in Asia, many of whom are not exactly rolling in money. So they can't afford a data plan on their cell phone to use Skype. But what they all can do is use Facebook, and they all can use Facebook because many telecoms in the region give Facebook access away for free while charging for other Internet access such as web browsing. This is a good way to slowly upsell consumers—and to indirectly get me to use Facebook even more than I normally would.
Similar value-added services through selective access to particular mobile applications can be seen here in the U.S., too. T-Mobile, for instance, has recently begun offering unlimited streaming Internet radio even for customers who can't step up for the larger data plans that normally would be needed to support Internet radio on a mobile device.
This is good business. It is a way that operators can help fend off the over-the-top challenge that threatens to turn telecoms into commodity businesses.
"To be innovative, service providers are finding ways to tailor their services and associated pricing to specific over-the-top application-driven consumption patterns with value-added service models," noted Steve Morin, director of product management for IP applications in Alcatel-Lucent's IP routing and transport business line in a recent TechZine article, Monetize your over-the-top mobile applications. "Application based charging and control enables you to accurately monetize a new breed of personalized service plans that have both knowledge and context of the specific underlying applications."
To be able to do this effectively, an operator must be able to parse traffic finely and have application-level identification and control functions embedded directly into the mobile gateway. But if it has this functionality in place, there are many potential avenues for monetization and differentiation.
Operators can create service packages based on social media, gaming, video or other logical groupings, for instance, and charge a monthly subscription fee for unlimited traffic around these interests. Or a provider could offer a monetary incentive based on what time of day the data was being used, noted Morin.
There are almost an infinite number of potential uses for this model, in fact. Operators just need to figure out how to use properly monetize this value-add opportunity now that mobile applications have quietly gotten customers away from thinking of Internet access as being one and the same no matter what application is using the data.]]>
Most mobile traffic is consumed indoors, and operators need to get a better grip on serving this market since it is a huge one.
Roughly 80 percent of mobile traffic is now consumed in-building, according to a recent Gartner study, whether mobile bandwidth is consumed in a public space, a shopping mall, or at the office. The total market for in-building services is estimated to be $4.3 billion currently, according to ABI research, and it is expected to grow to $8.5 billion by 2019.
Business leaders recognize the need, too; 72 percent of businesses are interested in enterprise cells that can boost performance on their premises. An Alcatel-Lucent infographic tells the tale.

That's a big opportunity.
Yet mobile operators have several challenges they must face when it comes to in-building wireless.
"Mobile operators have a number of challenges really," noted Mat Leaver, head of Alcatel-Lucent's in-building small-cells solutions group, in a recent video. "There is no one size fits all. There's no standard building; they come in different sizes, they are built with different materials that affect the RF; and they can't even get their mobile signal in there."
Alcatel-Lucent has been working on a number of solutions to serve the needs of in-building small cells and enterprise cells.
"We have three real solutions we're focusing on," noted Leaver. "We have a distributed antenna system we've been working with to really revolutionize DAS and make it more friendly in terms of CAPEX and how much space it takes up in a building. From that, we have DRS [distributed radio systems systems] where we use our metro radio unit and that's really good for tackling stadiums and high-capacity venues."
Then, of course, Alcatel-Lucent also has an indoor small-cell solution that offers both 3G and WiFi, enabling providers to offer mobile broadband even in highly congested areas and where buildings limit radio signal coverage.
Such end-to-end services can essentially eliminate in-building challenges such as indoor clutter, network design, RF interference, cell optimization and installation. And if data from Gartner and others is to be believed, this is an urgent need.

The Economist has its famous Big Mac index for comparing buying power across countries. But I wanted an index that focuses on the cost of mobile data usage. That meant I had to find a data-charging equivalent of the Big Mac. I needed an item that crosses cultural boundaries, is universally understood and is available worldwide.
I considered many possibilities. But the answer arrived when I saw my daughter laughing at a video of a cat playing a piano. Obviously, the mobile data equivalent of the Big Mac is the YouTube video. It's a universally available service that is easily measured in quantitative terms, making it ideal for comparing mobile data costs.
In honor of my daughter, I chose the classic "piano-playing cat" as the baseline video. And by the way, this cat video has been viewed over 34 million times, proving its suitability as a baseline.
How the index works
A typical YouTube video, delivered to a smartphone at high quality, requires about 2.3 Mb of data per minute. The piano-playing cat video is 55 seconds long, so it represents 2.1 Mb of data. Using that standard, I created the cat video index shown in Table 1. It compares the current worldwide costs of watching this cat video.
Table 1: How much it costs to watch the piano-playing cat (in US dollars)
As you can see, data costs vary widely around the world. The Danes pay the least to watch cat videos, despite their generally high cost of living. In Denmark, viewing the piano-playing cat 10 times costs only 4 cents. In the United States, you pay 31 cents for 10 views. And in the most expensive city, Seoul, the urge to watch this cute kitty costs you a whopping 41 cents for 10 views. That's 9 times the cost in Denmark.
How can you use this index?
Your subscribers may be afraid of shocking surprises on their mobile data bill because they're not really sure what a megabyte of data actually is — in terms of how they typically use their mobile devices. This index can help "translate" the costs of a typical service. That is, if video costs 4 cents for 10 minutes, then it is an affordable bit of fun.
With that in mind, the index can also be used as the basis for marketing campaigns, both positive and cautionary. In other words, this information can help you alleviate the fear of bill shock, as well as promote additional usage.
For more ideas on how you might use this down-to-earth view of data usage costs to promote data usage, take a look at Daisy Su's blog "10 offers for driving mobile data growth," as well as "Young Consumers Drive Mobile Data Growth." You'll learn more about driving monetization of the data network. These steps can include new ways to encourage groups of subscribers to use data to create a shared experience based on their interests. Or you might simply inspire a spur-of-the-moment viewing of a cat playing the piano.
There's been a lot of debate within the industry about VoLTE's readiness and how it stacks up against 3G voice and applications like Skype.
Now Signals Research Group (SRG), a leading field research and consulting services leader covering the wireless telecommunications industry, has closely studied the performance of VoLTE, 3G and Skype in AT&T's commercial network and issued their report. As we noted last week, SRG conducted that independent network benchmark study in Minneapolis-St. Paul, in collaboration with Spirent Communications. This is a market where Alcatel-Lucent provides the infrastructure, so I'm particularly glad to share this report with my friends and colleagues who've helped design, deploy and optimize VoLTE.
During June and July, SRG tested VoLTE, 3G and Skype for everyday conditions, including stationary and mobile locations, strong and weak radio coverage, and under a variety of network loading and multi-tasking conditions. The tests evaluated voice quality, call setup time, call reliability, eSRVCC handovers, network resource utilization, and battery life.
For subscribers, SRG concluded VoLTE delivers superior call quality even for weak radio coverage and loaded networks, along with faster connectivity and substantially less battery drain. For the operator, VoLTE consumed fewer network resources than Skype.
The SRG report states: "Whenever we do these types of studies we are always fearful that the results will fall short of our expectations and we will be in the precarious position of telling proud parents that their baby is less than beautiful. Fortunately we were not faced with this situation after completing the first part of the VoLTE study. VoLTE generally lived up to our expectations."
The SRG results should settle the industry debate. A voice app such as Skype was shown to require a sunny day situation in order to sound good: strong radio signals, little network loading, and no multi-tasking. VoLTE works all the time, including everyday conditions. VoLTE's audio fidelity is better: our voice tones are richer and warmer, and we don't have annoying latency or lost audio during calls. Plus VoLTE provided significantly longer battery life than Skype, and only a bit less than 3G.
VoLTE's user experience also beats 3G Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB). Calls were setup nearly twice as fast as CSFB. VoLTE's voice quality was measurably higher due to intrinsic AMR-WB, which isn't in that 3G UMTS network. Particularly important for today's data-hungry people, VoLTE subscribers get faster broadband, because LTE is always available, including voice calls.
SRG also measured how VoLTE provides efficient network utilization. Its design shrinks the packet header so that it consumes less radio bandwidth (Robust Header Compression); it requires fewer scheduling grants and resource blocks; it provides better coverage (TTI-Bundling); and it takes greater advantage of techniques such as discontinuous reception or transmission (DRX, DTX). When compared to Skype that means VoLTE ensures the LTE cell has more capacity for broadband data services.
For consumers and enterprises, VoLTE is the clear winner. It provides a superior experience while simplifying everyday communications. VoLTE enables anyone to talk clearly while simultaneously browsing the Web, downloading videos, sending emails, playing games or sharing content at LTE speeds.]]>
In our never ending quest to deliver higher capacity networks and more effectively deliver a true broadband experience to wireless consumers, our industry continuously engages in vigorous debates about new technology, architecture, and processes followed by rapid acceptance and adoption.
I only look to small cells as an example, where the industry has quickly evolved from a macro-centric view that small cells were an unnecessary nuisance, to the current view where they are accepted as necessary for scaling the network and create compelling new opportunities for network optimization, efficiency and applications. With the small cell debate behind us, we have turned to new ones: How should we use unlicensed or shared spectrum? How do we enable a centralized SON layer in the field that works across multiple vendors? How do we integrate small cells with a virtualized or cloud RAN architecture? …and the list goes on.
One debate, which appears to have not yet achieved uniform acceptance and adoption, is around the concept of building multi-vendor networks. I have long held the position that for wireless networks to scale long into the future, it is important to leverage best in class technologies and solutions even if that means allowing for wireless networks to be built with technologies from multiple vendors.
This view most certainly goes against the prevailing model where the network is sub-divided into the RAN and the Core, and everything in the RAN for a given region, country, or circle was provided by a single vendor (mono-vendor). The typical justifications for deciding on a mono-vendor strategy range from technical to operational, but as we move from a macro network to a heterogeneous network, I believe we should challenge these long-held positions.
I'll admit, I am heavily influenced by reading Christenson's "Innovator's Dilemma" early in my career, which cemented in my mind that status quo is often fiercely justified for the purpose of protecting a position, often a financial position, but we should never fear disruption and innovation if it could open a new pathway to something better. I can't bring myself to believe that our industry will capitalize on our opportunities if we cling to our mono-vendor legacy.
For that reason, I accept multi-vendor, I push multi-vendor, I embrace multi-vendor, and I enable multi-vendor heterogeneous networks. Time and time again, we have proven in the field that technical barriers, like shared carrier, X2 interop, interference management, carrier aggregation, CoMP, SON, and even the up and coming cloud RAN architectures do not present insurmountable technical problems to handle in a multi-vendor heterogeneous network (macro and small cells from multiple vendors). Believe it or not, it can work and it does - surprisingly well. But for it to continue to work, we as an industry have to put this debate to bed and memorialize multi-vendor as the way we are willing to build networks of the future.
Recently, my team supported a hetnet 'Plugfest' event organised by the Small Cell Forum, in partnership with ETSI, and hosted by the ORANGE Labs in Paris, where we demonstrated successfully that multi-vendor works with our small cell portfolio interoperating with macros from a different vendor, and other small cells working with an Alcatel-Lucent macro. This didn't surprise me, because we have already demonstrated this repeatedly in commercial networks, but it was great to demonstrate this in a more open setting. I really appreciate the leadership of both the Small Cells Forum and ETSI in promoting multi-vendor networks.
I am proud to say that a number of influential wireless operators, who continuously define and industrialize new wireless architectures, are beginning to support multi-vendor hetnets through their commercial awards. And I am excited to see that new wireless entrants with wireline heritages accept multi-vendor by default, as that was their legacy. However, it concerns me that some still hold true to the mono-vendor story. Wireless operators should have the option to build a best-in-class network using innovative solutions from multiple vendors. As an industry, we cannot afford to stifle our growth.
What if you didn't need to have your phone beside you at all times? What if instead, you can use your own car to connect with you, direct you and protect you wherever you go?
Well, by 2022, a Telefónica Industry Report (PDF) predicts that there will be 1.8 billion automotive Machine-to-Machine (M2M) connections that can do just that. This will comprise 700 million Connected Cars and 1.1 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices for services such as navigation, insurance, stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) and infotainment. In fact, Machina Research predicts that by 2020, 90% of new cars will feature built-in connectivity platforms, growing from less than 10% today.
Connected Cars will not replace smartphones - merely it's a way to extend the IoT connectivity and bring the everyday lifestyle right to the car. Ellis Lindsay's blog on Connected Cars as an everyday lifestyle does a great job of explaining this concept. He goes into detail about connected cars giving us the ability to link our life experiences – whether it's our deadlines, travel plans, monthly payments or Facebook notifications – to wherever we are and wherever we go.
I really think this quote by Henry Ford "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said 'faster horses'" explains the evolution of Connected Cars perfectly. Connected Cars have changed the way we approach the future of communications and if I had the chance to ask Henry about the future of Connected Cars, he probably would have repeated the same quote. Another great Ford leader, Steven Odell, an EVP at Ford Motor Company, believes "Cars are the smartphones of the future" stating that 79% of industry experts believe the IoT connectivity will soon be the primary decision in car purchases and that 80% of cars will be connected by 2020.
Today's primary decisions in making car purchases are pricing and gas mileage, without a doubt. However, when the M2M players and service providers join forces to bring connected cars to end users, they will have to realize the challenges of bringing M2M to the masses. These challenges include simplifying the use of technology and creating an experience where they consistently feel connected to their everyday lives. Oh, and let's not forget the millennials' preferences to self-service. There will be more to purchasing decisions than pricing and gas mileage – the means of having voice over LTE (VoLTE), push notifications, customer self-support, and mobile data will be major players in the decision.
All of the services of the Connected Car I mentioned have two important elements: It further connects us to our everyday lives and enhances the customer experience. This enables us to have our cars become our smartphones. Just imagine, making payments right from your car, having your car find the best available parking spots and not having to worry about the maintenance of your car as there are automatic vehicle system checks, firmware updates and data management services. What else could you ask for?
To learn more about Connected Cars, take a look at the ng Connect program. Is there an application or service you think every Connected Car should have? How big of a role will the IoT play in that service? Please share your thoughts in the comments below. I'd like to hear from you.

Outdoor small cells are now widely recognized as a great solution for expanding mobile capacity and coverage. And their use is expected to grow sevenfold by 2018.[1] So here's the next big question: How can you put these cells where they're needed, faster and at lower cost?
Maybe you've already encountered deployment issues, including difficulties with small cell site acquisition. According to an Informa Telecoms & Media survey, nearly 60% of mobile operators say that deployment problems are their biggest small cell challenge.[2] In other words, operators' top concerns are not about small cell technologies or products. Instead, they're about the practical aspects of getting these cells up and running on light posts, utility poles, bus stops, buildings and other street locations.
This blog looks at a collaborative approach that makes these deployment processes faster and easier. Alcatel-Lucent adopted these methods for our Metro Cell Express Site Certification Program. And we're discussing them here, because this business model earned a top award in the small cell innovation leadership category.
The results so far? Our methods have helped customers speed time to market by as much as 40%. They can reduce acquisition costs 20% through partnering with certified site owners. And they're providing access to approximately 600,000 available sites all over the world that are suitable for small cell deployment. They also offer faster access to power and backhaul on a large scale, as well as a certified installation workforce.
Easier small cell site acquisition processes
Gaining the greatest return from your small cells investment means deploying at scale and faster than your competition. But the current processes used to identify, survey and approve potential small cell sites can be very time consuming — slowing the pace of your small cell rollout considerably. The issues you face include securing optimal site locations, site costs and acquisition, backhaul availability and cost, power availability and cost, and mitigating interference. In addition, deployments require a variety of critical assets, such as tower sites for wireless aggregation and fiber for backhaul.Our site certification program grew out of a realization that no company alone can address all the challenges of rapid deployment at large scale. But a group that's committed to working together can combine all the necessary assets, skills and expertise, as well as an installation workforce — to give mobile operators fast, streamlined access to these resources. That includes providing access to sites suitable for small cell deployment.
For example, our program brings together, trains and certifies a wide variety of partners, including site acquisition specialty firms, a leader in outdoor advertising, construction specialists, cable operators in the United States, systems integrators and managed services providers. These partners provide access to tens of thousands of certified installation technicians and hundreds of thousands of outdoor small cell sites, as well as essential site assets. And with Alcatel-Lucent knowledge and experience behind them, they have the know-how to speed operators' time to market and lower their costs.
Immediate access to qualified sites
How does this simplified process work? For site acquisition, Alcatel-Lucent has access to a large database of sites and related assets, all around the world. They include:
With these kinds of readily available assets, it's faster and easier to find locations that put capacity close to your subscribers. And you also save time negotiating with site owners.
Quick connections to backhaul and installation technicians
Our program streamlines the next steps of deployment too, by giving you faster access to backhaul and power on the sites you've acquired, along with certified installation technicians. For example, our partners can provide distributed antenna system (DAS) nodes and the fiber optics used to connect small cells on utility poles, traffic signals, street lights, roof tops or other custom designs. And they offer access to shrouds, which give you a flexible way to add capacity or make other hardware changes, without new permissions.
To speed and simplify the process further, you get access to a workforce of tens of thousands of certified installation technicians. And our partners provide valuable expertise that's crucial for efficiency. For example, by understanding the details of local procedures and requirements — such as antenna variables and the number of boxes allowed on a pole — they eliminate the small, time-consuming issues and delays that can easily slow down your small cell rollout.
Our program's innovative approach is already speeding time to market and reducing the costs of deployment for mobile operators. As the use of small cells grows in the next few years, it offers a highly effective way to acquire the sites you'll need — and achieve rapid, cost-effective deployment on a large scale.
Talks on the topic of Connected Cars have been escalating over the years. It's a recent Machine-to-Machine (M2M) technology which extends our connectivity to the world around us – bringing your vehicle to your lifestyle. Consumers are looking at Connected Cars as a technology which can be used to help protect you, direct you and connect you. A recent survey done by Accenture on Connected Vehicles reveals that 50% of consumers in 2014 are using Connected Cars for traffic information and 34% of consumers indicated an interest in getting information about available parking spots.
Connected Cars will give us the ability to bring the home experience right to our cars. By bringing M2M to the masses, the technology will help us manage our life better – our cars can remind us of calendar deadlines, help us to schedule our meetings, and then plan our trip with the least amount of traffic – all while finding the perfect parking space.
One of the many things I realized from Telematics Detroit 2014 was the concept of the digital lifestyle. And I couldn't explain it any better than how Tom Gebhardt, president at Panasonic Automotive Systems of America, explained it at the event. "Without the car, you have a huge gap in being able to link your life experience. Consumers don't want to have to change their technology just because they're in the car," said Tom.
What Tom said really won me over. It's not so much about the Connected Car itself, it's really about the lifestyle and customer experience. The car is only a technology which enables us to improve the two. Every day we are finding new opportunities to stay connected, whether it's through downloaded apps, navigation services or new technologies. The Connected Car presents all of these features, along with the most important feature: location.
As I mentioned earlier, our network is always on. That means news feeds, notifications, changes of schedule and many other things that you would have known about if you were at home. But as soon as you step outside of those doors, you leave behind a suitcase filled with information. It is about being everywhere, while accessing everything. That's what the world of Connected Cars brings to life.
To learn more about Connected Cars, take a look at the ngConnect program. What do you think is the most important feature of Connected Cars? Share your thoughts in the comments below. I'd like to know what you think.
The emergence of cloud computing and mobility, not to mention bring-your-own-device trend (BYOD), has introduced a strong need for mobile virtual private networks (VPNs). Yet, most operators are only able to offer mobile VPNs to larger customers since their fixed-line VPN infrastructure is often separate from their cellular infrastructure.
One solution to this problem, outlined in a recent TechZine article, Mobile VPNs for Enterprises of All Sizes, by Jan Vandehoudt, Principal Consulting Engineer and Patrick McCabe, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Alcatel-Lucent, is for mobile network operators to use an enterprise services gateway (ESG).
"The ESG approach simplifies the network and ultimately streamlines the operational and provisioning model," noted the authors. "This makes it feasible to extend the mobile VPN service to small- and mid-sized enterprises for the first time."
An IP/MPLS router that has massive scalability, high performance and carrier-grade resiliency for VPN services is at the heart of the ESG model. This router not only handles IP/MPLS but also functions as a mobile gateway. By mixing functions, the ESG is able to replace the mobile gateway (PGW, GGSN), PE router and border gateway.
The benefits of combining functions into one ESG include massive scalability and resiliency, a simplified network and streamlined operational and provisioning model, and automated service provisioning.
Using such architecture also dramatically reduces both capital expense and operational expense for mobile network operators. A recent Bell Labs study found that over a five-year timeline the new approach is two times less expensive in terms of CAPEX and 10 times less expensive in terms of OPEX.
Further, the study found that deploying an ESG allowed the mobile network operator to offer services more quickly and with greater reliability.
"This approach not only provides cost and revenue advantages for the MNO, but it also opens new markets to include small- and mid-sized enterprises that may not have been candidates for this service in the past," noted the TechZine article.
The use of an ESG is a win-win both for operators and their customers. Customers get high speed access to key business applications with high availability, as well as persistency of connection without constant re-authentication and log-ins and multi-device flexibility. At the same time, mobile network operators get flexible service definition within existing framework and a simple implementation model that scales from small to large enterprises. Operators also get simplified operations including end-to-end service assurance, SLA monitoring, and traffic engineering.
In short, the case for enterprise service gateways is strong.]]>
What does voice over LTE (VoLTE) offer your subscribers? Better voice quality, including HD voice. Rich communications with messaging and video. And whatever inventive applications you choose to introduce. In other words, VoLTE can provide a superior quality of experience (QoE) for subscribers and give you a competitive edge — particularly when your service operates at its best.
In my last blog, our experts explained why an end-to-end strategy is the key to maintaining peak VoLTE performance. Now we'll look at how this strategy gets put into practice to optimize real-world service offerings. The information here is based on interviews with Luis Venerio who works with our VoLTE Readiness Services team. And his observations come straight from his experience on VoLTE deployments that serve millions of subscribers.
Validating QoS end to end
The first step in providing a satisfying QoE is to make sure each element of the network is correctly configured for VoLTE. That means checking quality of service (QoS) settings, end to end, to verify that all impacted network elements provide the proper treatment to high-priority VoIP traffic. By locating any incorrect settings, this audit identifies where problems can be prevented and performance can be enhanced.
Luis points out that it's not unusual for network operators to conduct audits. But for VoLTE offerings, there's an important difference: A collaborative, cross-domain approach can produce the best results. That's because VoLTE calls travel across the entire network, and performance issues often arise at the intersection of different network domains and elements.
For example, while working on VoLTE readiness, Luis' team examined the user plane and control plane end-to-end paths that support VoLTE service. And they found inconsistent QoS settings on both. "This included inconsistent QoS settings on the ingress and egress interfaces of individual network elements that handle user traffic," he says, "as well as inconsistent QoS settings for elements sharing a common interface."
Because the translations weren't set correctly in transport, for example, packets in VoIP weren't getting special treatment. But for VoLTE to be successful, these settings have to be consistent, because if even one network element doesn't give high priority, it could lead to packet loss and poor call quality. "We were able to give the operators an end-to-end mapping of interfaces where those parameters were not set consistently," Luis says. "And we indicated which areas uncovered by the QoS audit could have the greatest impact on VoLTE. So the operators could make the changes that are really needed to deliver higher QoE."
Checking other cross-domain parameters
A configuration audit can address other VoLTE performance issues too. For example, it can verify the activation status of required features needed for VoLTE service in every domain including but not limited to user devices, radio access, backhaul, core network and IMS layer. And it helps make sure that parameters are properly set for key functionality, such as Circuit Switch Fall Back (CSFB) and emergency calling capabilities.
Through this careful attention to detail, the VoLTE Readiness Services team identified incorrect timer values on the IMS layer, which could affect VoLTE call setup and duration. The configurations of individual network element parameters initially seemed to be fine. But with their cross-domain view, the team found that timers came into play between the IMS and LTE layers, and the timers were tearing down calls. "If you only looked at LTE radio access and core network layers," Luis says, "it would have been challenging to determine why the calls were failing without understanding interactions with IMS layer."
Measuring QoE after an audit
After the configuration audit is complete, VoLTE performance needs to be evaluated end to end. This assessment should look at both signaling and bearer traffic to identify delay, jitter and packet loss — and analyze KPI metrics for call setup and quality.
There are various ways to measure and quantify performance, but the Alcatel-Lucent VoLTE Readiness Team uses field-proven, automated in-house VoLTE performance tools to streamline data analysis. The tools analyze KPIs across network segments to identify anomalies, outliers or performance problems.
And because a subscriber's QoE is also a subjective factor, the team also relies on Mean Opinion Scores. "We believe the MOS is an important metric for understanding the VoLTE user experience," Luis explains. "So MOS samples taken during drive test calls should be correlated with RAN KPIs and network logs. The MOS scores can be affected by any number of issues, such as poor RF, interruptions caused by handovers, codec selection mismatch, and packet loss, just to name a few.
It's critical to have a well established process in place that addresses all these findings by properly classifying issues and engaging the appropriate domain subject matter experts who can help to further investigate and resolve the problems. A collaborative team effort with key representatives from the network operator and vendor domain experts is essential to ensure adequate support and a successful VoLTE roll-out."
"Remember the big picture, and examine the small details"
That's how I would summarize our expert's advice for maintaining a high QoE. The key is to keep in mind that VoLTE performs best when it is properly configured for the full length of the network. That's the big picture. But that means paying attention to small details that are unique to this technology, each step along the way. With that end-to-end approach, VoLTE can help you win new subscribers and deliver the superior QoE that can keep them satisfied.
Our next blog asks the experts about key IMS considerations for delivering optimal VoLTE performance.

Syntonic Wireless™ is bringing sponsored data to AT&T customers. The Seattle-based mobile services company's new Syntonic Sponsored Content StoreSM, creates an open marketplace where AT&T's iOS and Android customers can find and consume free or premium content without consuming their data plans. Integrated with AT&T's Sponsored DataSM service, the Syntonic Sponsored Content Store operates on the third party pays concept, one of the six degrees of mobile data plan innovation.
When it announced Sponsored Data in January 2014, AT&T offered a vision for a service that would give sponsors new ways to engage with customers and employees. Sponsors could come from industries as diverse as healthcare, retail, media and entertainment, and financial services. They could use sponsored data in a variety of different ways, including:
These examples don't require sponsors to buy large quantities of data. Videos would be a few minutes long at most, and would not necessarily require HD quality.
If sponsorship deals don't enable most customers to reduce the amount of data they purchase — either because the amount of sponsored data is too small or the sponsored applications don't merit frequent use — the service provider can treat the sponsor's payments as incremental revenue. Prices can be lower than those offered to the consumer. In fact, sponsors may argue they deserve a discount for buying large volumes of data or committing to a minimum purchase while not receiving enhanced speeds. Service providers need to manage expectations around pricing for customers: Since customers' wireless bills don't shrink, some may accuse service providers of charging twice for the same data.
On the other hand, if some customers can use sponsored data to reduce their monthly data plan, service providers will need to keep sponsor pricing in line with what the average consumer pays for data. Otherwise providers risk delivering the same amount of data but getting less revenue for the sponsored portion, causing margins to decline. If sponsored data prices are not meaningfully discounted, use cases will continue on current trends and be relatively light on data consumption. Sponsoring data at normal consumer prices for a data-heavy application, like streaming video, will be costly.
Pricing aside, how can sponsored data offers be structured? While by no means a complete list, here are five possibilities that can provide benefits to service providers, sponsors and customers alike:
These scenarios illustrate a few of the many ways that sponsored data can be used to market new content and applications, drive subscription campaigns, help enterprises address some of the challenges of supporting BYOD policies, or even reduce cost. In scenarios where data sponsorship ends after a time limit or consumption threshold is reached, communication by both the service provider and content provider will be key to avoiding customer dissatisfaction.
The toll-free data market is still nascent. We will see innovative third-party pays use cases emerge as service providers and content providers partner on new offers across industries. AT&T's Sponsored Data and Syntonic's Sponsored Content Store are key steps in bringing third-party pays data plan innovations to the market.

RS SO QB Maty Mauk
July 10, 2014
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou Football redshirt sophomore QB Maty Mauk (Kenton, Ohio) will serve as a camp counselor at the Manning Passing Academy, the football camp operated by one of the most recognizable families in quarterbacking, from Thursday, July 10-Sunday, July 13 in Thibodaux, La. Mauk will have the chance to work alongside and learn from Archie, Eli and Peyton Manning, and their elite academy coaching staff.
In his first season of collegiate action in 2013, Mauk made four starts in place of injured starting QB James Franklin, and made an instant impact for the Tigers, earning recognition to the SEC All-Freshman Team. He played in 13 of Mizzou's 14 games during its outstanding 12-2 campaign, throwing for 1,071 yards with an impressive 11-to-2 TD-to-INT ratio. He also ran for 229 yards and one touchdown.
Mauk will accompany head coach Gary Pinkel to the 2014 SEC Media Days in Hoover, Ala., appearing on Wednesday, July 16, with junior C Evan Boehm (Lee's Summit, Mo.) and senior DE Markus Golden (St. Louis, Mo.).
Below is a Q&A Mauk completed with MUTigers.com Thursday morning while traveling to Thibodaux.
MUTigers.com: Serving as a camp counselor at the Manning Passing Academy, what are you expecting to experience this weekend?
MM: "It'll be great to get down there and counsel the younger kids. I'm excited to work with them and also work with the rest of the coaches and counselors at the academy. I'll be able to learn too. I'm always looking to pick up leadership tips and soak up the other small things that go into being a successful quarterback."
MUTigers.com: What have been your points of emphasis over the summer to prepare for the 2014 season?
MM: "It's been footwork and getting the ball out quickly. Those are the types of things that give us a better chance to get the ball in play and make big plays."
MUTigers.com: Graduated Mizzou QB James Franklin served as a camp counselor at the Manning Passing Academy last summer. What sort of advice has he given you since last season ended?
MM: "We actually had the chance to talk at his wedding this past weekend. He said to continue to grow as a leader. The rest of the team will lead behind you."
MUTigers.com: This next week, you, Evan Boehm and Markus Golden will represent Mizzou Football with Coach Pinkel at SEC Media Days (Wednesday). What are you looking forward to the most?
MM: "I'm just really excited about it. It's another stepping stone for me, personally, for taking on a bigger leadership role on the team. Evan, Markus and I get to represent the team. Everyone in the country is watching. It'll be fun."

"For God so loved… that He gave…" - John 3:16
This is the heart of missions and the heart of missionary care.
So how exactly do we care for our mission warriors? One by one they came home from the frontlines: some from Thailand, others from Kazakhstan, China, or Cambodia. Singles and couple with babies or school-age children. So many needs, so many wounds to heal. We ask: "How can we be of help? What can we give you?"
I need someone to listen to me, to my stories. If you ask me to choose between P5,000.00 and listening ears, I would take the latter anytime," one missionary answered.
Another pleaded, "I'll return to the field tomorrow but I will not dare go back if you have not listened to me. I want to tell you three years of accumulated stories, of heartaches, joys as well as pains.'
In listening, we usher in the presence of the Almighty so he can comfort, calm the heart, renew confidence and awaken hope.
Meg A.
A single Filipina who has been shy and sheltered all her life finds herself teaching English and the Gospel to hardened convicts in Thailand's prisons. She sees them breaking free of the chains within their hearts.
