VODAFONE's COMMENTS ON THE GREEN PAPER ON CONVERGENCE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) Vodafone has therefore reached the conclusion that while it wants to be an active party in any convergence debate, there is very little in the way of tangible specifics for it to comment on at the moment. Vodafone would also like to point out that, despite the fact that the Green Paper says that the mobile communications business is particularly dynamic, the Paper does not appear to include it in much of the discussion. Vodafone agrees therefore with the conclusions reached by the EU Committee of the American Chamber of Commerce that a regulatory framework based primarily on competition law is desirable. europa.eu.int /ISPO/convergencegp/vodafone.html   (1335 words)

Line56.com: Dashboards Improve Workforce   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) Vodafone provides services to a quarter of the world's mobile phone users, but until recently the company didn't have the most sophisticated call center environment. The best way for Vodafone to make its call center a strategic opportunity rather than a cost center was to find a better way to derive and act on the data coming from all those customer calls, said Jason McLennan, Vodafone's principal business operations manager, on a recent webinar. Building on these reports, Vodafone soon added custom reports on mobile phone portability and performance issues (which are heavily regulated in Australia and therefore need to be closely tracked), customer complaints and compliments, up-sell and cross-sell success (at the point of telephone contact); actions and churn rates; and credit and adjustment reporting. www.line56.com /articles?ArticleID=6084&KeyWords=hyperion   (570 words)

Court drama as star of tennis honoured - theage.com.au   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) When King made her original plea, she suggested that centre court, renamed Rod Laver Arena two years ago, be renamed again to become Laver-Court Arena, giving equal recognition to Australia's only two winners of tennis' most coveted prize: all four grand slam titles in a single year. But Tennis Australia rejected the joint naming of centre court as impractical, and with Vodafone paying handsomely for 10-year naming exclusive rights to the number two arena, Court was left with the next court down. But she had wrongly assumed that Vodafone Arena was the court in question. www.theage.com.au /articles/2002/11/27/1038386203554.html   (653 words)

Vodafone enters m-payment arena | The Register Vodafone Group Plc yesterday announced trials of a mobile payment system which will allow customers in Germany, Italy and the UK to pay for goods and services using their mobile handset as ID. The Newbury, UK-based mobile operator is not the first telco to experiment with turning a handset into an electronic purse or cheque book, but its global stature will make its chosen m-payment model a matter of keen interest to rival telcos, and to financial intermediaries. In Vodafone's case, according to a spokesman, the company "has no intention of becoming a bank" or, initially at least, of setting up in competition with established credit and debit card operators. www.theregister.co.uk /2002/01/11/vodafone_enters_mpayment_arena   (421 words)
