Since 2000, Hugh Roberts has compiled a short but revealing annual survey into BSS attitudes, which he runs in parallel to managing the World BSS Awards. It is that time of year again, and having had a sneak peak at the early results, it looks like they will once again be a useful indicator of what the future holds for BSS. Amongst the twelve questions are a few dedicated to revenue assurance. All the questions are relevant to revenue assurance practitioners, because they point the way to how BSS will change in future, and hence the challenges to be faced by revenue assurance. Anyone who takes part in the survey will get to see the results. That is a good return for spending a few minutes answering a dozen quick multiple-choice questions. To take part, you can either:

• Follow this link to the web version of the survey at the BIMS 2008 conference website; or
• Download the MS Word version of the survey and return it by email to hugh@hughroberts.com, or fax to +44 (0)87 0139 1082.

The closing date for entries is the end of June.
