Abstract


The advancement of technology facilitates explosive growth of mobile usage in the last decade. Numerous applications have been developed to support its usage. However, gap in technology exists in obtaining correct and trusted values for evaluation indexes of the precise amount of usage. The claims of loss in revenue by the service providers could be more due to unexpected behaviour of the hardware. A similar mistrust is often observed in the users of the services. A trustworthy subscription scheme is in demand for consumers whereas revenue needs to be assured of the service providers. Multiple Authorizations by Multiple Owners (MAMO) has already been introduced as a technology to build trust in the third party billing system. In this paper, MAMO is extended to ensure trustworthiness of the parameters for subscription. Along with call transaction data are reconciled to assure the proper revenue generation.
