Lightyear Offers Agents Residuals on Verizon Wholesale Mobility!

New Alliances Reinvent Wireless.

Lightyear Wireless and Verizon Partner Solutions.

Few competitive telecom providers have found themselves on the upside of the wholesale agreement if they could meet the required volumes in the first place. That may be about to change with a new wholesale offer from Verizon Partner Solutions.

VPS, the wholesale arm of Verizon Communications, has entered into a deal to resale the Verizon Wireless network. In turn, it is able to offer its landline resellers the seemingly elusive ability to sell mobility solutions. VPS announced its contract with Lightyear Network Solutions LLC along with the product release in mid-July 2008.

Lightyear Extends Wireless to Agents

The inventory piece is huge for a company like Lightyear. “It enables us to put our money elsewhere,” said Steve Ray, vice president of carrier management for Lightyear. That means more cash for sales and marketing efforts, driving demand through the company’s indirect channel.

Lightyear is moving quickly to take advantage of its new deal with VPS; a soft launch of the Lightyear Wireless service was set for the Channel Partners Conference & Expo, Aug. 18-20 in Boston. A general launch will take place at the Lightyear agent event, Sept. 24-25 in Louisville, Ky., where the reseller is based. In addition, the company plans a road show where it will be training and recruiting agents to sell its mobility services.

Agents said they are excited about the prospect of selling the Verizon Wireless network, but that excitement might need to be quelled. Lightyear and other resellers are not allowed to market using the mobile operator’s brand. The only way customers will find out the name of the underlying carrier is if they ask.
