Summary

Each of Ovum's Wholesale Customer Surveys has confirmed that carriers must get better at segmenting the wholesale market. Different wholesale customers have different requirements, whether they are mobile operators, ISPs, ASPs, fixed service providers or value-added service providers. Just as retail carriers have become more adept at segmenting their retail customer base, wholesale carriers will have to become smarter at segmenting their wholesale customer base, or risk losing out to those that do.
