carrier's carrier
Last modified: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 

A carrier's carrier is a telecommunications industry business model where a carrier sells or leases bandwidth on its own infrastructure to another telecom carrier for reselling to their own customers. There are two applications for carrier's carrier; the customer carrier is an Internet service provider (ISP), or the customer carrier is an MPLS VPN provider. Also called carrier-of-carriers.
