This report is available from 19th October 2022 and contains up-to-the-moment Strategic advice on How Wholesale Roaming is delivered in 2022. This report is a perfect guide for Roaming teams on how to optimise their functions and what to consider to make the most efficient Wholesale Roaming Team based on the advice of over 100 Global MNOs. This Strategic Analysis Report has been created based on interviews with MNOs and contains 80+ Pages of data. Previous editions of this report were released in 2015 and 2019 and MNOs found it helpful for their Strategy refinement. Over the years, operators have faced several challenges in several areas of the Wholesale Roaming business. For instance, there are some processes from previous generations which generate a lot of inefficiency considering the current infrastructure scenario. Considering that many operators are currently renewing their infrastructure, this has put further pressure on the people behind the Wholesale Roaming team. Moreover, Roaming is starting to get back to its pre-COVID levels. As shown in ROCCO’s Wholesale Roaming Strategy Report 2020, traffic levels suffered a strong decline due to travel restrictions. Given that there are high expectations due to infrastructure renewal, it is worth knowing how MNOs are preparing for the future. This is of particular importance, as negotiations and service openings will be based on optimising costs of course but also now about optimising quality. All these considerations and more are addressed in this unique report. The party purchasing this report is receiving a single license for a single report to be used by their company only.

This report is available from 8th October 2020 and contains up-to-the-moment market intelligence on how Wholesale Roaming is delivered in 2020. This report is a perfect guide for Roaming teams on how to optimise their functions and what to consider to make the most efficient Wholesale Roaming Team based on the advice of global MNOs. This Strategic Analysis Report has been created based interviews with MNOs and contains 50+ Pages of data In 2015 and 2019 we conducted the same report and MNOs found it really helpful. Some of the key factors that came out of the research were the challenges MNOs had with pretty much all aspects of the Wholesale Roaming business. From 30 year old processes, to paper orientated processes and of course a lot of inefficiency. In 2020 the unexpected absence of Roaming has brought new challenges and perspectives never before imagined and the MNOs tell us how they are working in the new normal. Interestingly, with 5G Roaming launches & VoLTE Roaming the wholesale roaming function is going to face new challenges unlike its ever seen before. The negotiations and service openings will be based on optimising costs of course but also now about optimising quality. All these considerations and more are addressed in this unique report.

This report is available from 21st May 2019 and contains up-to-the-moment Strategic advice on How Wholesale Roaming is delivered in 2019. This report is a perfect guide for Roaming teams on how to optimise their functions and what to consider to make the most efficient Wholesale Roaming Team based on the advice of over 100 Global MNOs. This Strategic Analysis Report has been created based interviews with MNOs and International Vendors and contains 50+ Pages of data In 2015 we conducted the same report and MNOs found it helpful. Some of the key factors that came out of the research were the challenges MNOs had with pretty much all aspects of the Wholesale Roaming business. From 30 year old processes, to paper orientated processes and of course a lot of inefficiency. Since that time the role of that function has remained the same but has faced considerable challenges (regulations, new service openings, silent roamer growth, market disruption). It’s not an easy role especially when we consider the growth in Roaming usage is tremendous globally. 3.8% growth in travel and 300% increase in Roaming in the EU alone has seen roaming being used more than ever before. Interestingly, with 5G Roaming coming in the next few years the wholesale roaming function is going to face new challenges unlike its ever seen before. The negotiations and service openings will be based on optimising costs of course but also now about optimising quality. All these considerations and more are addressed in this unique report.

This report is available from 2nd May 2019 and contains up-to-the-moment Strategic advice on 5G Roaming This Strategic Analysis Report has been created based interviews with MNOs and International Vendors and contains 30+ Pages of data With every passing year, the launch of 5G – as expected – is quietly nudged further and further. But then why was 2018 the year of vacuous hype, why was 5G thrown around like it was packaged and ready to go? The results from our 5G survey so far prove that 5G Roaming is moving forward. There are multiple reports on Domestic 5G strategies, roll-out plans, business cases, etc. However, this is the first ever independent study into what operators globally are thinking about 5G Roaming and what the main drivers are behind their decision on moving forward.
