The number of operator members more than doubled in ther of the world´s fastest growing multi-lateral roaming hub, announced today that it has passed yet another important memb quarter just ended and Link2One now has over 60 operator members in 50 countries worldwide.

The pioneering Link2One hub has been developed by MACH, the leading provider of solutions to simplify and accelerate the creation and operation of the mobility supply chain, in partnership with Telefónica, one of the world´s largest communications operators.

"Link2One´s proven reliability, competitive pricing structures and the speed at which operators can join the hub are reflected in the numbers we have announced today,"said Terence Ledger, Senior Vice President of Link2One. "We have been leading innovation in Open Connectivity hub development and management for 5 years, and the growth statistics announced today highlight our leadership position in the industry."

Increasing regulation of the mobile roaming market, along with heightened consumer sophistication and competition, have put pressure on mobile operator roaming revenues. At the same time, growing consumer demand for data-based applications has changed the nature of roaming services, requiring operators to quickly embrace new technologies. The resulting margin pressure requires that operators reduce time-to-market for new services and drive down costs in their roaming business.

Link2One brings over 20 years combined experience in setting up and managing roaming agreements so that operators can quickly establish their roaming business based on proven principles.

Access to new partners, to the full range of roaming technologies and services, and to emerging technologies and providers, is fast and risk-free.
