In this article I am going to talk about something that is available to anyone who wants to build great digital experiences – a toolkit for purposefully built, digitally native, telecom brands – a new kind of wireless service provider.
Regulators are generally advocates of healthy competition, hence why Georgia, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia have recently opened up access to MVNO licences.
Dish Network has been linked with a possible move for TDS, which would give its mobile ambitions a significant boost.
Having shelled out massive sums for mobile spectrum over the years, Dish Network is now opening its wallet to pick up customers too.
Macquarie Telecom is moving its MVNO service to Optus’ network, ditching incumbent operator Telstra in the process.
Youfone will launch fixed and mobile services in Belgium in April, having brokered a wholesale deal with incumbent operator Proximus.
A true virtualised network should be agile in terms of configuration and relatively low-cost to set up. As a result, MVNOs will finally have the ability to really differentiate themselves from other players in the market.
Proximus has agreed to spend €130 million to acquire virtual player Mobile Vikings, a move that will further its strategy of targeting various market segments with multiple brands.
Optus is looking to make itself more attractive to customers at the budget end of the market via both a significant MVNO acquisition and a new sub-brand launch.
German MVNO 1&1 Drillisch has significantly downgraded its earnings outlook after host network provider Telefónica plays tough in negotiations.
América Móvil is not planning to build on its presence in the US mobile market, despite its Tracfone business having built up a sizeable customer base.
There are a wide range of opportunities for MVNO’s across the enterprise space.
Irish BSS vendor Openet has chalked up a nice win with MVNO Lebara to sort out its charging systems in five European countries, including the UK.
The challenge for Air France KLM, but I think it’s the same for all airlines, is ground connectivity for end-of-line flights (outside the private network) where there is less demand for connectivity.
Africa can be a suitable market for MVNOs who are willing to step away from traditional airtime and data reselling.
With Dish executives leading the company’s quarterly earnings call, details of the plan to crack into the US mobile market were revealed.
Today, many telecoms face competitors with better technology and a better business model (the cost to experience ratio).
Right now the MVNOs need to make sure they get immediate access to the 5G networks, and on non-discriminatory terms.
Telecoms.com periodically invites expert third parties to share their views on the industry’s most pressing issues. In this piece Roland Becker, Managing Director of Becker Io dicusses the potential for IoT in the MVNO space.
For Network Operators and especially MVNO’s, eSIM also brings unique benefits.
