to grow, including:

-- The introduction of new technologies such as 3G, IMS (IP Multimedia
Subsystems);
-- Different operating systems and network elements;
-- New products and tariffs;
-- Sophisticated fraud methods with new services such as premium rate
services etc.

starting with product development and sales, to provisioning of customers,
network operation through to invoicing," says Arun Dehiri, Analyst at
Juniper Research.

A new report from Juniper Research, "Revenue

cost operators more than the original revenue leakage if they are not

This charge includes prepayment penalties on
recently refinanced debt. Actual
results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a
result of numerous factors , including those set forth in the Company's Form
10-K and 10-Q Reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Revenue Assurance programmes
built to deal with traditional forms of leakage from areas such as fraud,
billing and roaming, are now inadequate to deal with newer forms of leakage
such as those arising from data services, implementing 3rd party services,
IP, and premium rate services. "The drip, drip, drip of revenue leakage can build up to
look more like a flood if operators fail to instil RA throughout their
organisation.
