“Carriers recognize that independent online retailers provide the ability to sell into niche markets and leverage the marketing power of affinity and marketing partners,” said Delly Tamer, CEO of LetsTalk. “We expect partnerships to account for much of our growth moving forward which is good for carriers, since historically, the online channel has provided customers with much better ARPUs and churn.”

Tamer will further explore the results of the survey in the panel entitled "Wireless Distribution Channels" at this year's CTIA Wireless 2003 at the Ernest N. Memorial Convention Center in New Orleans, LA on March 18 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in room 276. CTIA Wireless 2003 is the largest and most comprehensive wireless trade show in the United States.
