The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
It claims that this approach has a number of benefits. "Being virtual means we are independent of carriers and equipment manufacturers, treating infrastructure as a commodity. We get the best prices for our clients, design a solution using the most appropriate technology and are 100 percent focused on delivering the highest quality customer service."
Vanco provides services to enterprises, outsourcers and also to carriers. It claims that its virtual network approach "provides the capability for carriers to quickly and simply extend their off-net reach by accessing the entire global telecoms market."
Vanco has had a presence in Australia for several years, initially confined to servicing the local offices of its overseas customers rather than being an active sales operation. That changed in late 2003 when the company beefed up its Australian operation and appointed a managing director, Grant Ellison.
Local customers include Lend Lease, hotel group Accor, O’Brien Glass, Business Travel International and global engineering company Smiths Group.
The company declined to comment on whether it was behind the October 6 announcement.
