Virtual Telco
Many marketing organizations and telecom channel partners have decided that traditional independent distributor business models do meet their needs. These companies have more extensive requirements such as branding, service integration, in-house client support, and customized billing. The gross margin is often times insufficient to support the required operating and marketing costs.
