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
