International is to charge for online content has, overnight, totally reshaped the media and telemedia industries. While ad revenues have plummeted across media outlets and money making opportunities for telemedia have contracted, these two industries that have such a history together are now, once again, finding that they can work together to great mutual benefit.

For telemedia holds the key to unlocking the hitherto impossible task of monetising the free; billing the unbillable – and in doing so will unlock a whole new world of revenue opportunities for both the media and the telemedia sectors. Now that’s what we call synergy. And giving life to this synergy Telemedia360 in Liverpool is the event that has the express aim of demonstrating to the media and content owners – be they print, broadcast, marketing, branding, online or mobile – just how, using cross platform technology, innovative billing techniques and good old fashioned marketing, free content can be made into something that consumers will pay for, will enjoy paying for and will continue to pay for.

The event brings together media companies, network operators, service providers, billing experts, trade associations and regulators to discuss, in a dynamic, interactive one-day forum how to reshape the media landscape to monetise free content cross platform and how to generate traffic for these premium content services.

Working in conjunction with the International News Media Association (INMA) and the Online Publishing Association (OPA), Telemedia360 – a sister brand of Telemedia magazine – brings a wealth of industry expertise to bear in this must attend event.

Rotary Dial Solution

When you have been in business over 20  years, there are a lot of crazy stories from three decades worth of business and fun.

It’s hard to imagine that when Advanced Telecom Services was started, 38% of households in the United States used rotary dial phones!  ATS’s VoiceTone solution was an early voice recognition technology that allowed rotary callers to “say” the number of their selection rather than touch them on their touchtone phones.

In the early days of 900 numbers, VoiceTone was a major differentiator that allowed ATS to grow rapidly versus competing service bureaus.
