The Global Overview PresentationThe International MVNOx Association (iMVNOx)

Our objective

To be an effective voice for the poorly represented and fragmented MVNx ecosystem

To build bridges between the MVNx ecosystem, the carriers, the regulators, and the investment community.

To drive industry initiatives supporting the development of the ecosystem and creating beneficial programmes for MVNO subscribers

To provide real, tangible member benefits, through collaboration and shared purchasing power

To represent and serve the interests of our MVNO, MVNE and MVNA members

The iMVNOx principles

MVNOs should not be hostages to their host networks

Networks should not be able to simply ‘turn-off’ the service at the end of a contract

MVNOs should be able to migrate from host network at the end of the original term of the contract

Networks should not be able to enforce exclusivity

MVNOs should be able to resell

MVNO needs should be taken into account when telecommunication legislation is drafted

MVNOs should be part of industry codes of practice

And MNOs should enable MVNOs to comply with regulations

Supporting the MVNO ecosystem

The iMVNOx principles

MVNOs should have a place at the table when discussing technical standards

And MVNOs should get access to the latest technology and services in a fair and reasonable timescale

MVNOs should be encouraged to provide competition in the market

MVNOs should be encouraged to provide innovation in the market

MVNOs should conduct their business in a fair and ethical fashion
