A book was published that summarises part of the work executed in the frame of a joint collaborative project, co-funded by the European Commission under the 5th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, and specifically by the Programme for Innovation and SMEs. This project started with the objective, among others, to study the procurement frameworks and procedures that are used by telecom operators in order to carry out innovative projects, and to develop recommendations on how the rest of the utilities can make their procurement procedures more innovation-friendly, benefiting from the experience gained by the telecommunications sector. This project is titled “Innovation-friendly Public Procurement & Fight Against Telecommunications Fraud and Security Threads” – or INNO-UTILITIES for short. The overall volume of work was in the order of 150 person months, whereas about 40 person months were invested in the study of the innovative procurement and the development of above-mentioned recommendations. The project was executed jointly by Eurescom GmbH, Portugal Telecom, Virtual Trip Ltd., INA Telecom, Lund University, and University of Patras. In addition opinions were capture via interviews with experts from telecommunications sector related associations, such as ETNO (European Telecommunications Network Operators Association), FIINA (Forum for International Irregular Network Access) and HFF (Hellenic Fraud Forum).
