Direct carrier billing: giving CSPs a share of the mobile payments market

Direct carrier billing (DCB) enables communications service providers (CSPs) to directly participate in the over-the-top market by providing a payment option for consumers directly on to their mobile phone bills. CSPs can take a margin for providing the payment service, which might grow to provide significant revenue. Analysys Mason forecasts that DCB will provide CSPs with more than USD12?billion in revenue in 2022 – a significant stake in the growing mobile payments market.
