Operators and Regulators
To qualify for the free 'Operator/Service Provider' passes, companies must meet the following criterion: Provision of telecommunications services to private/domestic/residential consumers and/or business/enterprise customers as the primary activity of the business in the region in which a given World Series event is taking place.
'Service Providers', as we define them may or may not own and operate telecommunications network infrastructure. MVNOs, VNOs, some resellers and other 'virtual' service providers therefore qualify. 'Operators/Service Providers' as we define them do NOT include businesses whose principal activity is the sale of connectivity, bandwidth, backhaul, interconnection services etc. on a wholesale basis to other carriers/operators/service providers. In the case of subsidiary carrier services/wholesale businesses whose parent companies are service providers (as defined above) in other markets, we do not consider these to qualify for 'Operator/Service Provider' passes. These definitions, and their application in particular cases, are at the discretion of Informa Telecoms & Media.
The special Operator rate ONLY applies to companies that offer telecommunications services to consumers or enterprises. Please note that companies, or divisions of companies, that offer international or wholesale services will NOT be classified as being entitled to the subsidised rate.
If you are unsure about whether your business qualifies or not then please check with a member of our team at operators@informa.com
