This is a brief study on Blockchain Use Cases for Telecom Industry.

1. Blockchain Use Cases For Telecom Industry

2. INTRODUCTION
• Telecom industry today has the most complex operations framework, involving many
partners, vendors, customers, distributors, network providers, VAS providers.
• There are a lot of trust issues and transparency challenges due to the involvement of
multiple entities.
• Also, there are no clear mechanism to track end-to-end activities of every entity.

3. Blockchain UseCases
• Internal processes:
o The processes such as OSS (Operation Support System) and BSS processes
(Business Support System) such as billing and number portability databases can
be streamlined using blockchain.
o The interest groups can validate billing without hassle. This is possible with the
help of an intercompany blockchain shared among customers, VAS providers,
VPMN, HPMN and telecom companies.
o Also, a migrating customer can be quickly on-boarded on network after receiving
a porting request, if receiving operator shares blockchain with porting customer’s
operator.

4. • Roaming:
o Blockchain can solve the age old problem of operators to integrate high-cost
systems and provide access/authentication settings for enabling roaming calls
across networks and operators.
o Blockchain can enable complex datasets across multiple parties, in real time with
high trust and security, particularly for establishing subscriber identity.
• Smart connection:
o With the help of Blockchain, device connection can be provided to multiple local
hotspots and WIFIs based on permission and adherence to certain terms and
conditions.
o It also helps with automatic generation of billing amount and payments.

o Blockchain has enabled purchasing of digital assets, including music, mobile
games, gift cards and loyalty points.
• Mobile money:
o Blockchain has enabled cost-effective international remittances across the globe
with very minimal transaction charges.
o Telecom operators can become global remittance providers.
• Identity management:

6. • Way Forward:
o Blockchain solutions are instrumental in enabling interoperability between
internal as well as external systems for telecom companies.
o This can bring down infrastructure as well as compliance cost, and save
operators from roaming/identity fraud.
o Telecom industry today faces the challenge of eroding margins.
o There is a high pressure to cut down the cost and at the same time adopt service
innovations.
o Blockchain is the right tool to not only bring in service efficiencies and innovation,
but also keep a check on fraudulent practices.

7. Conclusion
• The use cases above demonstrate the different ways that telecom industry can invest
in the development and implementation of blockchain-based products.
• We estimate that, within the next few years, the use of blockchain technology by the
telecommunications industry will become more prevalent.
• It will eventually become the norm.
