A new breed of company is now telling MNOs they can use this information, with products developed from the academic discipline of Social Network Analysis (SNA) to help them to improve and extend their relationship with existing and potential customers - combating churn and aiding acquisition. In this report, Mobile Market Development looks at the SNA products available in the market, examines the claims made and provides actionable recommendations to MNOs considering their position with regard to using SNA as a business improvement tool.
