Why Become a Member of the Exchange?

Why become a Member of the Exchange?

 

  1. Becoming a member of Cicada Exchange does not put any limitations on the way you trade roaming today.

  2. Cicada Exchange works in parallel with negotiations during WAS meetings and other manual negotiations.

  3. Cicada Exchange offers you additional flexibility.

 

Flexible volume trading

Members can trade smaller amounts more often. You can trade on a quarterly basis or on an annual basis. Multiple orders per quarter or per year are possible. With uncertainty about roaming volumes Members don’t have to overcommit. In this way Cicada can be seen as a “free insurance policy”.

Gain valuable market intelligence

As a member of the exchange you can monitor closely what is moving in your market or any other markets you are interested in. You can trade any suitable deals, or alternatively place a counteroffer that suit you better.

Better prices for roaming.

Price discovery will be better on Cicada Exchange both for buying and selling capacity. It does not depend on personal relationships, it does not depend on your share of your national market and how much traffic you can send back or balance/net-off. It is a simple RFQ mechanism that allows trading on any roaming routes.

Risk free.

There is no need for exclusive trading and operators can continue to trade roaming in a traditional way in parallel to being a member.

There is no charge to become a member of the Exchange. You just pay a nominal fee of any transactions/trades that are completed through the exchange.


Can you afford NOT to be a member ?

 
 

Reduce Your Financial Risk

Members of the Exchange can significantly reduce their risk exposure when it comes to roaming commitments. Especially when traffic patterns change due to unforeseen things like political instability and pandemics like Covid-19.

Many mobile operators have had to experience this financial nightmare “the hard way” over the last couple of years.

By simply introducing and combining Cicada Exchange with your current roaming negotiations you can significantly reduce your financial exposure in the uncertain times to come.
