                The convergence of Internet and mobile telephony onto
              mobile devices introduces new challenges in the
              delivery and pricing of data services. This session
              will discuss the infrastructure requirements and
              criteria to allow mobile service providers to offer
              new revenue and profit generating services. Other key
              issues to be discussed include:

                Why next-gen mobile services require next-gen business
              infrastructure to enable new business models.

                  --  How to make money in an "always-on" GPRS
                    environment.

                  --  Implementing new services quickly via an
                    intelligent business infrastructure.

SESSION:      "BILLING MEDIATION IN A CONVERGED WIRELESS/IP NETWORK"
              Peter Ludeman, Chief Architect, XACCT Technologies, Inc.
              Thursday, December 7 3:30 p.m.-4:15 p.m.

              This session will address IP mediation questions such
              as: What new type of service offerings does IP mediation
              permit? What applications can it be used for other than
              billing? What is the capability of IP mediation products
              to do authentication, authorization and accounting in
              realtime? Other key issues to be discussed include:

                  --  Collecting CDRs from GPRS equipment in realtime

                  --  Collecting accounting information from IP networks

                  --  The process of creating Converged Detail Records
                    in realtime

                  --  Leveraging an investment in GSM mediation and
                    billing systems by deploying an Intelligent
                    Business Infrastructure
