WAKEFIELD, Mass., Oct. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the opening dates rapidly approaching for the World Cup and the Olympics , Comverse, a global leader in telecom business enablement, brings communication service providers (CSPs) at Futurecom (October 21-24, 2013 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) effective new tools and strategies for digital services, BSS and smart data management & monetization.

Analysts forecast that the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Brazil will significantly increase demand for mobile services and bandwidth. According to the GSMA Brazil Mobile Observatory, the World Cup is expected to bring over a million roaming connections, generating upwards of 300% of the normal data traffic ¹ .
