Wholesale line rental
Encyclopedia
Wholesale Line Rental is a service in which a telecommunication operator takes control of all the connections made through a telephone line
from the native operator and collects the subscription fee from the subscribers.
With WLR the alternative telecoms provider buys a wholesale
product from the incumbent
(usually in conjunction with a wholesale call product such as CPS
) and is then able to produce a single bill for the end user covering calls and line rental. Broadband
services can also be provided by the WLR operator (and included in a single bill) if a separate wholesale DSL product is purchased from the incumbent, but this is optional.
