Who are Tier 2 and Tier 3 operators?

Tier 2 and Tier 3 operators refer to telecommunications and internet service providers classified based on their size, market reach, and infrastructure capabilities. Tier 2 operators typically have a regional presence and interconnect with Tier 1 networks, while Tier 3 operators are usually smaller, local providers that may rely on Tier 1 and Tier 2 networks for connectivity. These classifications help in understanding the hierarchy of service providers and their roles in the broader telecommunications ecosystem.
