Ting is an MVNO (just like my company 2600hz) and while it would violate th=
e terms of my NDA to confirm the 10x number I can say that we found it to b=
e prohibitively expensive.
One should be aware that, just like in the IP transit world, the small play=
ers have different rules than the big kids. It might be prohibitively expen=
sive for us, but it's a different order of magnitude for a carrier like Spr=
int proper.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Joshua
P.S. shameless plug: we provide white-label cellular service to operators i=
ncluding full provisioning and call control plus it can be tied back into c=
orporate phone systems (and it's open source!!).
