Online billing as well as automated user interaction
End-to-end prepaid support
High performance availability
Carrier grade functionality
Local customization
Customizable web customer self care
Multi platform as well as multi vendor support
Easy set up and maintenance
Web based management

In addition to the above, you will want usage based, flat rate, duration based and tiered wifi billing. Some wish to charge more during different times of day, or you may wish to charge more or less on certain days of the week. You may wish to award free hours for so much usage.
