PANEL DISCUSSION: WHOLESALE & ENTERPRISE – CREATING PARTNERSHIPS FOR CHANGING BUSINESS NEEDS The line of demarcation between wholesale and enterprise has become increasingly blurred, as seen in the following industry trends: —— Certain segments of the enterprise market now represent customers with high-bandwidth critical communication needs. —— The traditional bilateral carrier-to-carrier model, which caters to carriers’ complementary supply and demand, is becoming less relevant in cases where enterprise demand drives carriers to create new business models and ways of co-operation. —— The trickle-down of enterprise customers’ requirements in the carrier-to-carrier market has seen the emergence of bespoke service levels across the supplying carriers. —— In this changing landscape, how can players rise to the challenges while fostering stronger and more rewarding partnerships — but also keeping structural separation in markets where it is critical? Questions to be discussed: 1. What are the main challenges for carriers’ wholesale divisions in handling enterprise customers’ requirements and how do carriers manage separation of critical information? 2. What are the requirements from enterprise customers and how have they changed in recent times? 3. What can be the advantages for enterprise customers of interfacing directly with wholesale operators in markets other than their home markets? & etc MODERATOR: David Chalmers, Head of Asia (Data) of Telstra Global PANELLISTS: Ricky Chau, VP, APAC of Level 3 Communications Eric Liu, SVP of Global Wholesale of China Unicom Wesley Cheng, Sales Director, Asia of Türk Telekom International Adrian Shatku, CEO of Wis Telecom Jayson Ho, Director of Orange
