Could the vim be coming back to the US MVNO market? Sprint’s on a roll at the moment having singed four virtual network operator contracts in the six months since it launched a turnkey MVNO package.
Orange’s partnership with pan European Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE) Transatel has borne its first fruit. The carrier on Monday said it has secured three MVNO deals in the UK, with Unicom, Catalyst and Axis Telecom.
One time enemy of the carrier community, internet telephony player Truphone has struck an MVNO partnership with Vodafone UK to bring voice and data services to its UK customer base.
In the great playground that is the mobile telecoms industry, Huawei has just pulled Ericsson’s hair and run away laughing. The two have been working on LTE projects in the run up to the Christmas holidays, this week announcing a commercial network apiece. On Wednesday, TeliaSonera, the Nordic-Baltic specialist, switched on an Ericsson-supplied LTE network in Stockholm and one from Huawei in Oslo.
Following the launch of the Middle East region’s first MVNOs - Friendi Mobile and Renna in Oman earlier this year - winds of change appear to be blowing through a market once reluctant to accept virtual operators.
There was a time, not so long ago, when the iPhone was a byword for exclusivity. Carriers fought for the right to offer it and queues formed outside the small number of shops which shone with its presence. Now you can buy the thing in Tesco. The UK’s largest supermarket, which pockets something like one of every seven pounds spent in Britain, will soon be making the latest versions of Apple’s iconic handset available on its MVNO, Tesco Mobile.
iPhone exclusivity is well and truly over, in the UK at least, with the news that supermarket Tesco is to stock the device and might even do so in time for Christmas.
Giffgaff, the MVNO subsidiary of O2 UK, which fancies itself as a crowd sourcing pioneer, opened its doors on Wednesday with a rallying call to its user base.
Mike Fairman is the CEO—or ‘Gaffer’—of O2 UK subsidiary GiffGaff, a new MVNO that aims to harness the collective efforts of its customer base, and derive operational cost savings in the process. But is one man’s groundbreaking experiment into crowd sourcing another man’s gimmick?
Virgin Mobile France has agreed to acquire rival MVNO Tele2 France for a cash consideration of €56m on a debt free basis.
