    Virtual operators market (MVNO) is still a “hot” topic on the telecommunication market, as a proof a lot of activities are held on this matter. For past year analysts from J’son & Partners Consulting are actively participating in several industry events - MVNO Russia 2012, MVNO & MNP Russia 2013, MVNOs Industry Summit 2013 etc. J’son & Partners Consulting presents a brief results of market research “MVNO market in Russia and in the world: main trends and perspectives of development”. MVNO market in the world Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) is the concept of the mobile operator without its own frequency resource and base stations (other infrastructure elements may be present). At this point MVNO is already well established in the developed countries of Europe and Asia, the U.S. and Canada, and gradually spread to emerging markets. Globally, according to Wireless Intelligence on May 2012, there were more than 1,000 mobile virtual network operators, including 812 “pure” MVNO and 224 companies - large sub- brand operators. Ten largest MVNO in 2013 had 1.4% share of the global mobile market by subscribers, others had 0.4% - on another MVNO, which were not included in the top ten. In general, the global market for virtual operators is geographically heterogeneous even within the same macro-region. For example, in Western Europe, where the main parts of the MVNO are presented, the proportion differs significantly from country to country. For example, in early 2013 in Italy MVNOs share was 5.2%, while this index of only independent MVNO in Germany and the Netherlands was more than three times - up to 16%.
