Buddy Guard™

Clean DNS and Parental Controls for telcos and mobile operators



The two biggest concerns for parents with kids and teens online are:

1  Inappropriate content.

2  Amount of time spent on-line.

Parents are reluctant to admit or imagine that they might lose control.
They also micro-manage and hover when children are younger.

Traditionally, software options must be downloaded and maintained and are hard to configure.
Also, software options only cover a single device and are security focused.

Increase revenue from a higher value service bundle or unique cross-platform offer designed to lift APRU and improve plan mix.
