Description

Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

Companies in this industry purchase network access and capacity from telecommunications carriers and resell wired and wireless telecommunications services to businesses and households. Most major carriers provide network access to resellers on a wholesale basis and also own reseller brands. Major companies include DISH's Boost Mobile, AT&T's Cricket Wireless, T-Mobile's Metro, and América Móvil's Tracfone Wireless (all based in the US), along with CITIC Telecom International (Hong Kong) and Truphone and Lycamobile (both based in the UK).

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Demand is driven by consumer spending, growth in business activity, and new technology. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient operations and good marketing and customer service. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in purchasing telecommunications services to resell. Smaller companies can compete effectively in niche geographic markets. The US industry is highly concentrated: the top 50 companies account for about 80% of revenue.

PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY

Telecommunications resellers offer services at lower prices and with more flexible plans than traditional carriers because they obtain bulk access to networks at wholesale rates and set retail prices independently. Major services include wireless voice telephone services which account for about 30%, residential wireless voice telephone services (about 25%), wireless data services (about 20%), residential wireless data (about 20%), and fixed local telephone services (about 10%).

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
