While they’re worth considering throughout the year, blessings should especially be counted at Thanksgiving time. With that in mind, let’s take a look at three things broadband providers have reason to celebrate:

• Cutting-edge billing systems. If you want to stay in business, you’re going to have to get a secure handle on your finances. Thanks to state-of-the-art billing systems, you can proactively monitor your revenue streams to make sure business is flowing as smoothly as possible. Such xsystems also ensure your PCI compliance, meaning that you won’t have to worry about your customers’ data being compromised.
• Pervasive IP-based networks. These days, digital is king. Forward-thinking broadband providers understand that IP networks deliver better user experiences to their customers. On top of that, the technology helps reduce broadband providers’ CAPEX by reducing the costs traditionally associated with service delivery thanks to the power of the Internet.
• Popular over-the-top (OTT) and TV Everywhere services. As network speeds advance, users will likely experience an ever more seamless experience as they go about their day consuming content. Broadband providers realize that OTT and TV Everywhere content is where the industry is moving because it’s what customers want: the ability to watch the precise programming they want whenever they feel inclined—on whichever device is nearest.

Thanks to the power of the Internet and the evolution of technology, the future’s looking brighter than ever for broadband providers. After all, providers are increasingly able to offer customers more customized experiences.

From our team at Great Lakes to you and yours, we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
