    Global operators to lose over $2Bn roaming revenue in five years

    ​A new research, ‘Data & Financial Clearing: Emerging Trends, Key Opportunities & Market Forecasts 2021-2026’ by Juniper Research shows that operators globally will lose over $2 billion in roaming revenue from the misidentification of roaming data traffic before 2026.

    The breakdown shows that the operators will lose $484 million this year, even as the report further revealed that the inability to distinguish between 4G and 5G data traffic using current standards will result in greater losses as the travel industry returns to pre-pandemic levels and 5G adoption increases.

    Commenting, Research author Scarlett Woodford remarked: “By combining BCE with AI-enabled roaming analytics suites, operators will be ideally positioned to deal with the rise in roaming data. Separating roaming traffic by network connectivity is essential to allow operators to charge roaming partners based on latency and download speed, and maximise overall 5G roaming revenue.”

    Meanwhile, support by operators for the BCE (Billing & Charging Evolution) protocol is cited as being a key strategy to minimise the extent of revenue leakage. BCE is an end-to-end industry-wide standard defined by the GSMA that introduces new capabilities that identify roaming data traffic over different network technologies.

    5G Roaming to Drive Roaming Market Evolution

    This issue of misidentifying roaming data will only be exacerbated by the rising number of 5G subscribers roaming internationally. The report forecasts there will be over 200 million 5G roaming connections by 2026; rising from 5 million in 2021. This growth is driven by increasing 5G adoption and a return to pre-pandemic levels of international travel. In response, it urges operators to identify emerging areas of potential revenue leakage by leveraging machine learning in roaming analytics tools to efficiently assess roaming behaviour and data usage.

    In addition, the report found to effectively mitigate the growing complexity of clearing processes arising from increased demand for data when roaming, operators must move away from established roaming clearing practices in favour of BCE.
