A telecom cloud provider is a telecommunications company that has shifted a significant part of
its business from landline service to devote resources to providing cloud computing
services.
The telecom sector has suffered as more and more mobile customers have dropped land lines. The
shift to cloud
services allows the telecom to repurpose underutilized networking resources and take advantage
of existing business relationships.
Telecom cloud providers include AT&T, China Telecom, Telus, T-Mobile and Verizon/
Terremark.
