Q: What is the advantage to enlisting a full-service telecommunications distributor over an
interconnect to conduct your installation?
A: Interconnects turn to third-party vendors (such as telecommunications distributors) to source
the product they will install, often resulting in a mark-up for customers. On the other hand, by
stocking the equipment they install, full-service distributors become a one-stop shop, thus saving
customers the costs interconnects charge to source product outside of their organizations.
