The Evolution of Telco?
First there were FACTELs
Then there were VIRTELs
The future is APPTELs
FACTEL
• Facilities based carrier (any distributed facility)
• Provides dial-tone
• Significant investment in CAPX
• Relatively low margins, high volume
• Must keep applications (features) simple due to high customer volume
• Highly regulated
VIRTEL
• Data center based TELCO
• Utilizes existing data infrastructure to transport calls
• Provides dial-tone
• Relatively low margins, high volume
• Must keep applications (features) simple due to high customer volume
• Limited current regulation
APPTEL
• Does not provide dial tone
• Data center based and leverages FACTEL and VIRTEL call origination and termination facilities (often SIP trunked)
• Good margins due to value pricing
• Able to provide rich applications
• Limited regulation
