What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About Virtual Network Operator (vno)
Virtual network operators are a relatively new concept in the North American market when compared to the European and Asian markets. Fully virtual VNOs do not have any technical facilities or technical support provision; instead, they rely on the support delivered by the owners of the underlying infrastructure. The VNO concept has gained a lot of traction in the telecommunications industry as the cost of infrastructure is substantial.
