MVNE bandwagon

MVNE bandwagon
What is a MVNE first? It is an enabler, a facilitator between the mobile operator that host a mobile service provided by a MVNO that wants to leverage its brand (i.e Virgin Mobile). As the MVNO segment is forecast to rapidly grow, the market attracts a lot of enablers that can facilitate the launch of a new brand, make the whole process much quicker and easier for the MVNO, streamline complexity, and cut costs, with eventually provisioning, billing, retail, and customer care technology platforms. The smaller is the MVNO, the more interesting is the MVNE approach. A number of companies have already announced MVNE strategies: Visage Mobile, MVNGO, and Versent in the US, Spinbox in Sweden, Virtel in Australia, Martin Dawes Systems in the UK, but also vendor Telcordia offering an MVNO platform. And the number of MVNE providers is gradually increasing in parallel with the MVNO market.
