Report Synopsis
This new report is the most thorough ever published survey examining the
current state of play of MVNOs in 37 countries around the globe. Profiles of
the main players in each of the main mobile markets where access onto the
incumbent' s network has been allowed and a summary of the key MVNO players in
each of those countries are provided.
The report evaluates the role of the country regulator in enabling the MVNO to
become established in the some key markets, where the finding reveals that the
most logical approach is not to prescribe but to ensure that the dominant
mobile provider does provide access to the MVNO.
The research discovers a range of different approaches and trends that are now
driving the market. The mobile market globally is becoming more fragmented
with the power of brands and distribution - together with the emergence of
new low-cost MVNE aggregators - favouring the development of new niche MVNOs
based on a small social community. The report features case studies based on
in-depth interviews with BT, Lebara, Virgin Mobile and Blyk, each using a
different business model.
A section provides a ranking of the existing 30 MVNO countries that we have
identified according to six broad criterias and identify the most attractive
MVNO markets for future investment.
A section looks at pricing since the MVNO' s have entered the market.
The final section provides a forecast of the MVNO subscriber base in 5 years
time.
