MVNO - Background and history

1 In some markets, the MVNO concept came about as the result of regulatory intervention



1 The MVNOs in Scandinavia ended up having a market share above 10%.



1 The efficiency is obtained by the nature of the MVNO business model. An MVNO incurs no significant capital

expenditure on spectrum and infrastructure and does not have the time-consuming task of building out

extensive radio infrastructure.



1 Certain mobile network operators believe that there is merit in operating a wholesale MVNO

business unit to complement their retail model and have therefore

either openly embraced potential MVNO partner or endeavored to launch their own branded MVNO.



1 The first commercially successful MVNO in the United Kingdom was Virgin Mobile

UK, which was launched in 1999.[http://about.virginmobile.com/aboutus/

1 The first MVNO was created by Tele2 in Denmark, and subsequently rolled

out in several European markets. This model formed the basis for the

cooperation between Tele2 in Sweden and TeliaSonera|Telia,

created when Telia failed to obtain a 3G license in their home market.


MVNO - Legislation

1 Presently many companies and regulatory bodies are strongly in favour of MVNOs. For

example, in 2003, the European Commission issued a recommendation to national telecom

regulators (NRAs) to examine the competitiveness of the market for wholesale access and call origination on public mobile telephone networks. The study resulted in new legislation from NRAs in countries like

Republic of Ireland|Ireland and France forcing operators to open up their network to MVNOs.


MVNO - Legislation

1 In the Middle East, Jordan's TRC (Jordan)|TRC has issued its first

MVNO regulations in 2008 facilitating the entrance of the first MVNO in the

region.


MVNO - Legislation

1 In Brazil, the MVNO was regulated by Anatel, the Brazilian Agency of

Telecommunications, in November 2010. As of September 2014 the

combined market share of all Brazilian MVNOs was just 0.04%.
