Here's why Ting is switching to Verizon: The small MVNO — as of Q1 2019 it boasted 284,000 subscribers — is moving to Verizon — the largest wireless provider in the US — because it can offer Ting both better network coverage and better rates, the two most important factors for an MVNO.

Verizon is drawing Ting's business because the telecom has consistently boasted the strongest network quality and consumer experience. For an MVNO, that will mean that it can offer users consistent service — the same that they'd be able to get by signing on with Verizon — while taking advantage of the more nuanced pricing models that these budget carriers use.

Marketers would prefer to have their own predictive marketing platforms, helping them collect and activate their own proprietary data. Enterprise technology companies want that future as well. They want to be the ones to sell and provision those tech platforms, integrating and packaging them with all of the other systems they sell into the enterprise, from CRM to call center management to finance and sales force automation. Quite naturally, they worry that it will be easier for Google and Facebook to add their own CRM and related systems than it will be for them to replicate Google and Facebook’s digital marketing system.Agencies? They just want to keep themselves in the middle. Whether as consultants, media brokers, system integrators or owners of syndicated data, agencies just want to stay relevant and find ways to reverse their declining margins.
