Syniverse Identifies More Than $17 Billion 'Transient' Mobile Roamer Market

摘要

Syniverse has uncovered the value of a significant segment of mobile end users who are willing to go to great lengths for connectivity when they leave home beyond those options enabled by their home mobile service providers. According to analyses of Syniverse and third- party data, "transient roamers" - those who seek alternatives to traditional mobile roaming - spent more than $17 billion in 2012 on alternative connectivity options while traveling that include purchasing local SIM cards at their destinations and paying for Wi-Fi at hotels, in flight or on other public hotspots.
