NOTAS: | Wholesale carriers are increasingly providing their customers with access to, and support for, data center facilities, CDN, application distribution and management, storage, data processing, and other individual capabilities that enable them to assemble cloud services. Virtually every service available from a wholesale carrier can be combined in unique ways by its intermediaries to quickly bring to market cloud-based services for their customers. Use of suppliers’ cloud components enables wholesale intermediaries to build, manage, and operate cloud environments without making a significant capital investment. Astute wholesalers will package their services, systems, and processes to support intermediaries wishing to offer cloud services to their customers. |
