Global MVNO 2006

There are over 300 virtual mobile operators/service providers worldwide, and new MVNO ventures are being announced with regular frequency. Operations such as ESPN Mobile in the US, easymobile in the UK and COTASMvil in Bolivia have all launched within the past 12 months. By leveraging their brands, or by addressing segmented markets or demographics, MVNOs are challenging operators for subscribers and margins. For example, Virgin Mobile accounts for a quarter of T-Mobile UK's total subscriber base.

Sprint Nextel is managing over 15 MVNO relationships and several other mobile operators are proving equally welcoming to MVNO players.

Researched and designed in association with WCIS, the World Cellular Information Service from Informa Telecoms & Media, this powerful visual tool provides data ranging from subscribers to host network used.

For analysts, researchers and marketing professionals, the data is available electronically (MS Excel), ready to port into models, pitches and presentations.
