The latest study by Strand Consult
has shown how carrier’s carrier could add value to the mobile market across the
world, reports DigitalSENSE
Business News.
According to the study which cited
Mexico as an instance, says there are opportunities to achieve that but the
necessary conditions for the model to work, and how the actors could maximize
the benefits of the model, have to be followed to help organizations.
A carrier’s carrier is a business model in which an operator
with a mobile network serves only wholesale customers, such as mobile
operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and
Mobile virtual network operator (MVNOs).
“In markets where many carriers compete, the cost of
acquiring customers is high. When prices
and margins are under pressure, it is necessary to think outside the box,” part
of the study said.
Stressing that in order to understand Net Neutrality and
Stakeholders’ arguments, there is need for consolidation of the mobile industry
is a reality.
“The question is not whether the mobile market will
experience consolidation but how and in which countries,” Strand Consult
highlighted.
The operator, study said could build and run its network
most cost-effectively has a comparative advantage in the marketplace.
“It may make sense for this operator to specialize just in
network and let competitors focus on other areas of the business,” DigitalSENSE Business News reports.
Other potential carrier’s carriers include green-field
players that win spectrum as part of the digital dividend, or even smaller
operators that would like an alternative future than being part of a
consolidation.
