(MVNO's) Are Disrupting the US Enterprise Wireless Market
How Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO's) Acceptance are Becoming Disrupting Widespread the U.S. July 2019 Enterprise Wireless Market By David Roberts CEO - Teligistics $12+ Billion in Experience The Power of Great Advice. White Paper Series Copyright 2019 - Teligistics, Inc. - All Rights Reserved What is an MVNO? A mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) or virtual network operator, is a wireless communications service provider that does not own the wireless network infrastructure or FCC spectrum licenses over which it provides services to its customers. An MVNO enters into a business agreement with a mobile network operator to obtain bulk access to network services at wholesale rates, then sets retail prices independently. An MVNO may use its own customer service, billing support systems, marketing, and sales personnel, or it could employ the services of a mobile virtual network enabler which typically adds robust value-added services and technologies not typically available to the wireless carrier (MNO). Some of the larger and well known MVNO's primarily serving retail/personal markets: History of the MVNO Mobile Virtual Network Operators were originally started in Europe's highly-fractured wireless market in the 1990's. With the advent of better technologies (2G Networks plus), frequencies and available spectrums as well as a more relaxed regulatory environment sped their growth. Primarily focused in targeted consumer markets, even the MNO's (Mobile Network Operators) who owned the wireless network infrastructures saw the niche branding opportunities as many launched their own MVNO subsidiaries to serve specific markets. The proliferation of the European models soon made their way to the United States and by 2008 had reached 15.6 million subscribers and over 40 MNVO's. -

Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Basics: What Is Behind This Mobile Business Trend
Viewpoint Telecom Practice October 2008 Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) basics: What is behind this mobile business trend MVNOs bring the opportunity to telecom and non-telecom companies to participate in the mobile sector. New players in the MVNO arena can extract more value from their current customers by adding a new revenue stream and/or strengthening their current value proposition. This article intends to summarize the key concepts of the MVNO opportunity to new players of the mobile sector. Carlos Camarán and Diego De Miguel Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) basics What is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO)? An MVNO is a business model that emerges when the traditional mobile value chain is ruptured. Therefore, new players can participate in the mobile value chain and extract value leveraging their valuable assets. The traditional mobile value chain can be separated into two main areas: 1.- Radio access network that is exclusively exploited by mobile network operators, moreover it requires a license granted by the regulatory authority to use the spectrum, and 2.- the rest of the elements required to deliver the service to the customers. As it is shown in the exhibit 1, this second area of the value chain includes: the operation of the core network (e.g. switching, backbone, transportation, etc.), the operation of the value added services (e.g. SMS, voicemail, etc.), the operation of the back office process to support business process (e.g. subscriber registration, handset and SIM logistic, billing, balance check, top-up network, customer care, etc.), the definition of a mobile value offer and the final delivery of the products and services to the client through the distribution channel. -
