Legacy BSS modernization for 5G monetization

Most CSPs operate on legacy BSS stack. For a telco of any size to offer & deliver various 5G services at consumer-friendly costs across demographics, a modern digital BSS is the first requirement to fulfill. After the launch of standalone 5G networks, a service provider/operator’s BSS needs to be 5G capable to match the 5G network functions.

5G network slicing & guarantee of quality for enterprise-customer services

5G networks offer network slicing as a basic capability, compared to 4G & 3G’s network slicing restrictions. 5G allows dedicated network slices, using which CSPs can create virtual data channels for single data type services. This not only allows co-creation of enterprise-customer services but guarantees quality of services for them as well. That’s why having a 5G-capable digital BSS lets CSPs leverage opportunities created by 5G technology across all types of B2B2X business models.

Covalensedigital has designed 5G Csmart suite with modular flexibility. Csmart digital BSS is cloud based with a powerful microservices architecture that can be decoupled. Only the module required by a CSP/telco can be offered which functions to deliver a specific service/s to a target customer segment. Not only would this allow for a 5G-enabled enterprise-customer service ecosystem to work but thrive. This makes Csmart - the fastest yet low-cost way to provide service differentiation and meet end-user SLAs. It also allows CSPs to try new revenue streams as part of 5G monetization.

Csmart BSS – The bridge connecting technology and business simplicity

CSPs or telcos of any size can reduce complexity of their business operations and improve operational efficiency through digital transformation, automation & monetization. This creates digitally connected yet independently working eco systems which improves business agility. Csmart has also been proven to drastically reduce time-to-market for an operator’s /CSP’s new or renewed offerings.

Csmart BSS implements digitalization with minimal disruption to existing business operations. It shields telcos/businesses from complexity & compliance aspects of technologies allowing them the freedom to drive & innovate their core business while still exploring all the opportunities offered by the same technologies.

Save Time and Reduce Cost with Automation

Let’s talk about something we all wish we had more of in the trucking industry: time and money. It’s no secret that running a trucking business is tough. Between keeping up with the endless regulations, dealing with unexpected repairs, and managing all the paperwork, it feels like there are never enough hours in the day. And let’s not even start on the costs piling up. But what if I told you…

"Automation" and friends (1979), by Bill Tolar, Fantasy Factory division, Creative Systems Group Inc., Atlanta, GA. Bill Tolar and Tom Zaken treat us to a surreal tour of the Creative Systems robot factory in episode 1513 of Mister Rogers' Neighbourhood, "Robots & Remotes" (1983).

"Three years ago Bill Tolar and his management/engineering team at Creative Systems Group Inc. in Atlanta produced a cylindrical object with a domed head and dangling arms that ran on a car battery. As soon as Tolar and his team added a two-way wireless radio, they were in the promotional robot business, with a product that resembled R2D2 – the charismatic beeping robot of Star Wars fame.

Since then, the company, which designs and manufactures imaginative interiors for retail stores, has sold 350 remote-controlled robots at prices ranging from $6,000 to $15,000. Although he has competitors, Tolar, 33, claims his company's Fantasy Factory division, with 1981 sales of $700,000, is "the largest promotional robot factory in the world." Coca-Cola has bought about 250 of the robots for its bottlers to use in mall appearances and similar events. Other customers include Arby's Inc., Kimberly-Clark Corp., and the National Pecan Marketing Council.

The robots are intended to create goodwill by chatting spontaneously with the clientele at trade shows, grand openings, supermarkets, hospitals, and sporting events. Such friendliness, Tolar claims, helps to circumvent the barrier people usually erect between themselves and corporate advertising. "The general public likes to think the robot is real," he says.

Creative Systems was an outgrowth of several earlier Tolar ventures. In high school he and a friend formed T&R Odd Jobs, a sign-painting and custom furniture business. As an engineering student at Georgia Tech, he joined his older brother to form Spatial Effects, a company that built lighting equipment for nightclubs."

Trump could not do what he's doing without the craven connivance of Republicans on Capitol Hill.

The chart above shows the 24 House Republicans with the narrowest winning margins in the 2024 elections. 15 of them won by less than 5% of the vote. It also shows how they voted on the so called "Big Beautiful Bill" which is a gigantic giveaway to billionaires.

Each representative and senator has one or more home offices in the districts/states they represent. If you live in one of the districts listed above, visit a local office. The most effective thing you can do is express your opinion in a firm but polite way in person to your rep's staff; bringing a photocopy of your voter registration card to leave with them is vital. If you don't know where your rep's offices are located, go to your favorite search engine and type in the name of your rep in quotes and the word office. So if you live in IA-03, it should look like this in the search field...

"Zach Nunn" office

People in Rep. Nunn's district have a choice of three offices in IA-03: Des Moines, Creston, and Ottumwa.

We often hear the mantra "write or call your representative". Frankly, emails and phone calls do no good with the overwhelming majority of reps. With calls, you'll usually endure some automated system designed to screen you into a dead end; if you're lucky, you may get to talk to a bored intern. And things are even worse with emails. But your chances of getting some human's attention are greatly increased if you send a PHYSICAL letter. Your rep might possibly even see the letter – or at least the envelope.

A personal visit to a rep's office during business hours lets them know that you are a real person and not a bot. A photocopy of your voter registration is proof that you are an active voter in that district.

Republican reps are not holding town halls so that they can avoid constituents like you. But you can still go to them or at least the staffers who report to them.

If your GOP rep's grovelling to Donald Trump's whims does not end after your visit, then contact your local or county Democratic Party and volunteer to help with the campaign of a Democratic challenger.

💡 Share this with people you know who live in those districts. It's not necessary to be on Tumblr to read stuff here.

The party of war voted in unison against ending taxes on tips and overtime work. Only one Republican voted against these measures, with 217 in favor. The Democrats are NOT the party of the working class and have been actively working to undermine the people for years.

Ending taxes on tips and overtime was one of Trump’s campaign promises, which is precisely why the Democrats struck down the bill. Laughably, the opponents stated they were concerned that losing $2 trillion in tax breaks over the next decade would hurt the national debt. The very people who have never seen a social program they did not want to fund are suddenly concerned about the national debt.

Kamala Harris was in favor of these policies and had the backing of her party. Her feigned support was an effort to win over the people, no different from the failed promise of ending student loans. “It is my promise to everyone here, when I am president, we will continue to fight for working families, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” Harris told a crowd at the University of Nevada in August 2024.

The Democrats want everyone to be equally poor and dependent upon the government. Some lawmakers say eliminating tip taxes would be unfair to workers in states with a lower minimum wage. Under that line of thinking, should we penalize those who work in cities where, say, a meal is 5X the price as it would be elsewhere? Why should anyone out earn another in this fantasy socialist utopia? Minimum wage is a short-sighted political move that ignores the fundamental laws of supply and demand. Politicians always assume they can simply legislate prosperity, but history proves otherwise. Forcing businesses to pay higher wages does not magically create wealth—it destroys jobs, accelerates automation, and puts small businesses out of business.

Wages rise naturally in a real economic expansion when businesses compete for workers. That is how a free market functions. But when governments artificially raise wages, businesses respond logically—by cutting jobs, reducing hours, or passing the costs onto consumers through inflation. The very people politicians claim to be helping end up worse off, as their cost of living rises and entry-level jobs disappear.

Tipping culture is completely out of control in America. There is an expectation for consumers to pay a minimum of 20% in addition to inflated services, regardless of the quality of their service. Kiosks and self-checkout payment systems often ask for a tip. Consumers are less likely to go out when money is tight and the initial service has already risen due to inflation. Then, the government wants to take a portion of these tips AND the initial salary in most states. Whatever we must buy is then taxed; whatever we save is then taxed. Government greed knows no bounds. They’re too incompetent to manage funds, so they continue to squeeze our pockets, but it is never enough.

Republicans attempt to mandate deregulation of AI for tech tycoons and fossil fuel.

They want to stop all the protections and oversight of automation completely in the country, and handcuff state and local efforts to protect communities and save lives.

404 Media - Republicans Try to Cram Ban on AI Regulation Into Budget Reconciliation Bill Emanuel Maiberg · May 12, 2025 at 10:09 AM “...no State or political subdivision thereof may enforce any law or regulation regulating artificial intelligence models, artificial intelligence systems, or automated decision systems during the 10 year period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act,” says the text of the bill introduced Sunday night by Congressman Brett Guthrie of Kentucky, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. That language of the bill, how it goes on to define AI and other “automated systems,” and what it considers “regulation,” is broad enough to cover relatively new generative AI tools and technology that has existed for much longer. In theory, that language will make it impossible to enforce many existing and proposed state laws that aim to protect people from and inform them about AI systems. (emphasis added)

This is straight out of the anti public health and climate denial legislative playbook.

Unfortunately in Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is forcing AI tools into state government and I'm sure employees feel pressured to use such "tools" even if they do damage, because they want to keep their jobs after all, by keeping their deadlines. The incentive usually being to get things done, not necessarily do things right — and chatbots have the uncanny ability to make things look and sound believable even when they're incorrect. In my opinion, this technology belongs nowhere near the people's business.

My letter to reps:

AI and chatbots absolutely need regulation and oversight. And if the feds won't, the states have a right and a responsibility to do so. The idea of handcuffing us from protecting anyone is like saying you want dirty drinking water. I don't want this everywhere. AI is an out of control financial bubble wasting fossil fuel. It outputs inaccurate information, causing threats to patient safety in healthcare settings and has directly led to illness and even death. An AI generated foraging book told people to eat poison mushrooms. Fake childrens books full of nonsense. It can't even do what they say. It seems only to be able to create convincing sounding BS, use energy and water and land that communities desperately need. And it's functioning as an Oracle of Chatbot thing where unwitting people are being told they're connected to a spirit in the universe. Some would surely call this blasphemy. The pope himself has specifically called out the need to defend human dignity against AI. So why do politicians think they should stifle the freedom to protect communities?

Please feel free to copy or repurpose for your own letters to reps.

Pope Leo XIV throws down the gauntlet against AI hype. At his first "working meeting", the pope outlined his priorities to include defending "human dignity" against the threat of AI, citing the dehumanizing effects of the industrial revolution. Chloe Humbert May 13, 2025

Source Code: My Beginnings by Bill Gates

In contrast to the current crop of swaggering tech bros, the Microsoft founder comes across as wry and self-deprecating in this memoir of starting out

Bill Gates is the John McEnroe of the tech world: once a snotty brat whom everyone loved to hate, now grown up into a beloved elder statesman. Former rivals, most notably Apple’s Steve Jobs, have since departed this dimension, while the Gates Foundation, focusing on unsexy but important technologies such as malaria nets, was doing “effective altruism” long before that became a fashionable term among philosophically minded tech bros. Time, then, to look back. In the first of what the author threatens will be a trilogy of memoirs, Gates recounts the first two decades of his life, from his birth in 1955 to the founding of Microsoft and its agreement to supply a version of the Basic programming language to Apple Computer in 1977.

He grows up in a pleasant suburb of Seattle with a lawyer father and a schoolteacher mother. His intellectual development is keyed to an origin scene in which he is fascinated by his grandmother’s skill at card games around the family dining table. The eight-year-old Gates realises that gin rummy and sevens are systems of dynamic data that the player can learn to manipulate.

As he tells it, Gates was a rather disruptive schoolchild, always playing the smart alec and not wanting to try too hard, until he first learned to use a computer terminal under the guidance of an influential maths teacher named Bill Dougall. (I wanted to learn more about this man than Gates supplies in a still extraordinary thumbnail sketch: “He had been a World War II Navy pilot and worked as an aeronautical engineer at Boeing. Somewhere along the way he earned a degree in French Literature from the Sorbonne in Paris on top of graduate degrees in engineering and education.”) Ah, the computer terminal. It is 1968, so the school terminal communicates with a mainframe elsewhere. Soon enough, the 13-year-old Gates has taught it to play noughts and crosses. He is hooked. He befriends another pupil, Paul Allen – who will later introduce him to alcohol and LSD – and together they pore over programming manuals deep into the night. Gates plans a vast simulation war game, but he and his friends get their first taste of writing actually useful software when they are asked to automate class scheduling after their school merges with another. Success with this leads the children, now calling themselves the Lakeside Programming Group, to write a payroll program for local businesses, and later to create software for traffic engineers.

There follows a smooth transition to Harvard, where in the ferment of anti-war campus protests our hero is more interested in the arrival, one day in 1969, of a PDP-10 computer. Gates takes classes in maths but also chemistry and the Greek classics. Realising he doesn’t have it in him to become a pure mathematician, he goes all-in on computers once a new home machine, the Altair, is announced. He and Paul Allen will write its Basic, having decided to call themselves “Micro-Soft”.

The early home computer scene, Gates notes, was a countercultural, hippy thing: cheap computers “represented a triumph of the masses against the monolithic corporations and establishment forces that controlled access to computing”, and so software was widely “shared”, or copied among people for free. It was Gates himself who, notoriously, pushed back against this culture when he found out most users of his Basic weren’t paying for it. By “stealing software”, he wrote in an open letter in 1976, “you prevent good software from being written. Who can afford to do professional work for nothing?” This rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way and still does, at least in the more militant parts of the “open-source” world. But he had a point. And that, readers, is why your Office 365 account just renewed for another year. Fans of Word and Excel, though, will have to wait for subsequent volumes of Gates’s recollections, as will those who want more about his later battles with Apple, though Steve Jobs does get an amusing walk-on part. (Micro-Soft’s general manager keeps a notebook of sales calls, on one page of which we read: “11.15 Steve Jobs calls. Was very rude.”). This volume, still, is more than just a geek’s inventory of early achievements. There is a genuine gratitude for influential mentors, and a wry mood of self-deprecation throughout. Gates gleefully records his first preschool report: “He seemed determined to impress us with his complete lack of concern for any phase of school life.” Later, he explains how he acquired a sudden interest in theatre classes. “Admittedly the main draw for me was the higher percentage of girls in drama. And since the main activity in the class was to read lines to each other, the odds were very good that I’d actually talk to one.” Strikingly, unlike most “self-made” billionaires, Gates emphasises the “unearned privilege” of his upbringing and the peculiar circumstances – “mostly out of my control” – that enabled his career. Adorably, he even admits to still having panic dreams about his university exams. The book’s most touching pages recount how one of his closest friends and colleagues in the programming group, Kent Evans, died in a mountaineering accident when he was 17. “Throughout my life, I have tended to deal with loss by avoiding it,” Gates writes. He says later that if he were growing up today, he would probably be identified as “on the autism spectrum”, and now regrets some of his early behaviour, though “I wouldn’t change the brain I was given for anything”. There is a sense of the writer, older and wiser, trying to redeem the past through understanding it better, a thing that no one has yet seen Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg attempt in public. That alone makes Bill Gates a more human tech titan than most of his rivals, past and present.

How Do Healthcare BPOs Handle Sensitive Medical Information?

Healthcare BPO Services

Handling sensitive and personal medical and health data is a top priority in the healthcare industry as it can be misused. With growing digital records and patient interactions, maintaining privacy and compliance is more important than ever and considered to be a tough role. This is where Healthcare BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) companies play a critical role.

As these providers can manage a wide range of healthcare services like medical billing, coding and data collection, claims processing and settlements, and patient on-going support, all while assuring the strict control over sensitive health information is maintained and carried out on the go.

Here's how they do it:

Strict Data Security Protocols -

Healthcare companies implement robust security frameworks to protect patient information and personal details that can be misused. This includes encryption, firewalls, and secure access controls. Only the concerned and authorized personnel can get the access towards the medical records and data, as all our available on the go all data transfers are monitored to avoid breaches or misuse.

HIPAA Compliance -

One of the primary and key responsibilities of a Healthcare BPO is to follow HIPAA (Health regulations policies and acts with standard set regulations). HIPAA sets the standards for privacy and data protection. BPO firms regularly audit their processes to remain compliant, ensuring that they manage patient records safely and legally.

Trained Professionals -

Employees working and the professionals in Healthcare services are trained and consulted in handling and maintaining the confidential data. They understand how to follow the strict guidelines when processing claims, speaking with patients, or accessing records. As this training reduces and lowers down the risk and potential of human error and assures professionalism is maintained at every step.

Use of Secure Technology -

Modern Healthcare BPO operations rely on secure platforms and cloud-based systems that offer real-time protection.
