Service providers' key expectations from 5G and toward 6G era are to successfully manage the immense traffic growth and leverage mobile networks to support new use cases.

Credit Card Competition Act can make banking more expensive and less secure - The Dallas Morning News

Image
If you're like most Americans, you're far likelier to use a credit or debit card than cash to make everyday purchases. Just 12% of Americans use cash daily. Payment apps are on the rise, but only 5% of people report using them for purchases. In other words, cards are king. They're quick and convenient. Yet some members of the Senate want to make credit cards less accessible, especially for low-income people and those from marginalized communities. A lot goes on in the seconds between swiping or tapping a credit card and approval of the transaction. That includes validating the card, encrypting the data, checking for fraud and making sure there are enough funds to cover the purchase. These network services allow merchants to safely take cards as payment. Merchants pay a fee for them, typically 2% of the transaction amount.

Top ICT tenders: Eskom looks to customer engagement - ITWeb

Image
With president Cyril Ramaphosa's State of the Nation Address due to take place on Thursday, and rumours of an imminent cabinet shakeup abounding, it's unsurprising that National Treasury's eTender Portal is relatively quiet this week. That's not to say there's little of interest in the issue though. In fact, a notice from beleaguered Eskom is likely to attract attention from all sectors of society. In the tender, the utility states it wishes to replace its existing customer relationship management (CRM) solution, including the CS Online web portal and MyEskom customer mobile application. The tender documentation notes Eskom's existing applications and architecture are "fragmented with limited functionality and do not provide a holistic, omni-channel customer engagement experience that is seamless across channels (telephony IVR, web portal, mobile app)". What's more, it says it would like to move as many of its costly telephony interaction...

Virginia Tech Pamplin alumnus Jay Ives included in Forbes' 30 ... - Virginia Tech Daily

Image
In the early months of 2020, as COVID-19 left many small and medium-sized businesses struggling in its wake, Virginia Tech Pamplin College of Business alumnus and Jives Media founder Jay Ives saw an opportunity to serve his local community. "Businesses were hurting, and I wanted to do everything in my power to support them," Ives said. What he couldn't have foreseen is how taking this opportunity to serve would, over the course of just two years, rapidly transform his career and earn him a spot on Forbes' 30 under 30 list among the world's top marketers. The 29-year-old entrepreneur and CEO started his professional journey as a marketing management major at Virginia Tech, completing his undergraduate degree in 2016. "I knew to be a 'lethal marketer,' I had to have the proper support, training, and education to develop both qualitative and quantitative marketing skills." He chose to enroll in Pamplin for the world-class education he knew he woul...
