The telecommunications industry is rapidly expanding and diversifying as consumers demand new technologies to enhance their services. By obliging, companies can enhance the experience they are able to deliver customers, offering a greater number of communications and service options, all of which feature upgraded quality, connectivity and collaborative opportunities. At the same time it benefits the customer, adding new technologies can also bring telecom businesses into the modern age, ensuring that they profit from their network function virtualization (NFV) strategies through the use of software monetization solutions.

What goals have you established for 2015? Do they include growth, a reduction in expenses and a plan for increased efficiency? All are healthy goals and common for beginning another new year. If you had the same goals last year, were you able to achieve any level of success? Did you implement any new technologies to help along the way? If not, this may be the year to make the investment.

Voice over Internet Protocol, or "VoIP" for short, has become a force to be reckoned with in the technology world, and with good reason: It provides reliable, cheap (or free) calling for homes and businesses alike. But it wasn't always that way, so it's fitting that those with the vision and foresight to see what it could provide will be sharing their insights at this week's ITEXPO show in Miami.

The remote workforce is growing more and more each day, but mobile communications can still be an issue while traveling abroad. Providers tend to hike up prices and add extra fees for roaming while using their services. But when business calls overseas, workers are stuck between a rock and a hard place-neglect important communications, or keep operations flowing for a hefty price. That is, this was a tough spot for businesses until now.

We have heard a lot of discussions lately about net neutrality. Network neutrality is the idea that one's cellular, cable, or phone Internet connection should treat all websites and services the same. The problem is that big companies such as AT&T, Verizon and Comcast want to treat them differently in an effort to charge more depending on what is used.
