Johannesburg, South Africa, 26-27 July 2017
Approved scope
Proposed structure
The more granular the measures, the more the KRIs will
be useful to help end-user make informed choices
Statistic validation should be an obsession, since it
avoids litigation on quality assessment results
Proposed quality regulation principles
9 - Technology neutral KRIs keep quality regulation
standing
Avoiding defining in regulation KRIs only applied to
specific technology (ex. LTE, ADSL, GPON, etc.)
KRIs should be more general and easily understandable
by end-users
Examples:
Refers to site instead of e-NodeB
Proposed quality regulation principles
10 End-users satisfaction and service quality
perceived complement QoS assessment
Satisfactory results in technical KRIs may hinder poor quality
perception by the end-users
Surveying among end-users is the unique way to really measure
users satisfaction and quality perceived
Surveys results should ponder KRIs assessment
Example:
An user satisfaction or quality perceived positive variation may lower the pressure from regulator towards
improvements in network quality
Proposed quality regulation principles
11 - Measurement tools and sampling plans are
better defined hearing all stakeholders
Important to establish (after regulation issuance) a quality
management group gathering regulator, operators and
measurement solution providers identified
Focus on defining detailed operational guidelines (ex. tools,
sampling plans, requirements, databases, sources, criteria,
collecting procedures, etc.)
Proposed quality regulation principles
12 - Raising customer rights awareness pushes
quality improvement
Well informed end-users help to monitor quality and
request improvements
Empowering end-users by, for example:
Making clear in retail contracts the quality level, based on KRIs
targets defined (contract breaking with fees exemption in case of
poor quality results)
End-users compensation in case of poor quality levels
Proposed quality regulation principles
13 - Massive publication of quality results impacts
operators marketing and investment strategies
Publication of quality results, specially ranking operators,
makes shareholders and board of directors worried about
In some operators, directors bonuses are paid based on
quality results and ranking positioning
Marketing strategies and investment planning should be
impacted by quality results
