Instant Roaming
Today, over 2.4 billion people are using over 700 mobile networks in 210 countries around the globe. Each and every one of these networks has to establish bilateral roaming agreements with at least one mobile operator in each country in order to provide their subscribers a complete roaming coverage and the accompanied home experience abroad. In practice, mobile operators have on average 200 ‡ 400 bilateral agreements in place with still lots of coverage gaps, forming isolated islands. The development of new mobile services requires upgrades of existing bilateral agreements while resources are limited and mobile operators face a lot of pressure to decrease the roaming cost structure.
