Multi-Territory RFQ’s
We recently launched the ‘Multi-Territory’ option on the Exchange.
This option enables Members who are trading on behalf of more that one operator to place RFQs into a country where they are including more than one HPMN in the deal.
We recently launched the ‘Multi-Territory’ option on the Exchange.
This option enables Members who are trading on behalf of more than one operator to place RFQs into a country where they are including traffic from more than one HPMN in the deal.
When posting an RFQ, the ‘Tick Box’ will only be visible to Members who are configured as a ‘Group’.
When posted, the ‘Live’ RFQ will be marked as ‘Yes’ under the ‘Multi’ column on the Exchange dashboard so that it is clear to other Members that this is an RFQ which includes traffic coming from multiple territories (countries).
If an operator trades this RFQ, then the resulting contractual document (Trade Annex) will clearly state name and TADIG codes of the additional operators included in this deal.
About the Cicada name and logo
The team at Cicada Exchange sometimes get the question about our name and logo. Why did we choose this name for the company, and what does it symbolise?
The short answer is that Cicada Exchange has got its name (and logo) from the fascinating superfamily of insects by the same name.
But why did we choose to name our company after an insect?

Policy Tracker’s Manuel R. Marti publishes article about how Cicada Exchange could also work for 5G spectrum sharing
Policy Tracker’s Manuel R. Marti publishes article about how Cicada Exchange could also work for 5G spectrum sharing.
“A recently launched online trading platform for mobile roaming contracts that works like a commodity market may in the longer term incentivise spectrum trading and sharing, including providing a new way for 5G verticals to access spectrum.”

New Paper on the Need to Reform Wholesale Roaming
A new paper by Tony Shortall looks at the issues causing wholesale roaming markets to perform
poorly leading to regulatory pressure and where possible, regulatory interventions. These problems
in wholesale roaming markets will become more acute in the face of larger volumes and new
services promised with 5G deployments. The paper shows how the evidence suggests that
anonymous, one-way trading which are normal and essential characteristics or any commodity
exchange can resolve these problems. There are a number of channels that public policy can use to
mandate participation by mobile in such an commodity exchange.
