(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Omantel the leading telecommunication provider in the sultanate hosted the 23rd Global Settlement Carrier (GSC) forum in Muscat for the GSC Group from November 11 and 14. Omantel is one of the latest operators who have joined this prestigious group of carriers in early 2013 to enhance its opportunities of international networking. 

Commenting on this Ingemar Jonsson from Wholesale Unit said 'We are pleased that  Omantel hosted the GSC forum which represents an opportunity for us as a telecom company to exchange and discuss the hot topics with other telecom operators. Omantel  is keen to be a part and present in these forums and joined the GSC early in 2013. Being a part of this forum provides also a chance to share the development of telecom threads and enhance the international networking between the members of the Group.'

He added 'A majority of the 30 GSC members participated in the forum and discussed practical solutions to continuously improve telco carrier's billing settlements and related business processes foster inter-carrier business relationship and to explore solutions to business demands and enable carriers to gain first hand insights on market movements and upcoming trends.'

Likewise the GSC provides a platform where carriers' trade experiences and knowledge is critical to telco operations and organisation. The GSC priorities are to serve the carrier members' needs provide a forum for sharing experiences and addressing challenges and to develop solutions that will assist carrier members on process improvements and efficiency gains in their respective daily business operations.

The main reason for which the GSC Group is successful is that its main focus is on activities that falls outside the competition and therefore it allows an open source for knowledge and experiences sharing for the carriers to benefit from. As an Associate Member of the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) the GSC Group has been an active contributor to develop 'best practice' guidelines which have been incorporated as new supplements in some of the ITU Recommendations. These significant milestones were achieved as a result of the GSC members' inputs via workshops.
