Bill Shock prevention

Recently the EU passed the bill on bill shock prevention. In a nutshell it states that when roaming, customers need to be informed when they spend certain amount of money (50 E), and only after they accept that fact they can roam some more. Main idea was to avoid situations like this.

The question is - what do you need to implement such kind of regulative if you are an EU based SP. We had the opportunity to implement few solutions like this and speaking from Cisco perspective (which is our bread and butter) you need a Cisco CSG2 (Content Services Gateway) and a PCRF Policy Manager . It could also work on other solutions (ASR 5000 and/or Cisco Service Control Engine).

And off course you need a team of capable network consultants who are going to make sure that everything works well :)
