Overview

With the growth of mobile devices and increasing domestic use of wireless technology, this essential report evaluates the long-term prospects of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO) and addresses questions that have arisen since ESPN launched its mobile service during the Super Bowl in February of 2006 and decided to cease operations by 2007, such as:

  • Will the market support premium pricing for premium mobile content?
     
  • Can MVNOs penetrate a saturated US mobile and wireless market? And if so, where are the opportunities?
     
  • What are the most successful operational models for MVNOs?
     
  • How many MVNOs can US consumers support?

This new report, ”Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) Find Their Niche – Or Do They?” published by BIA Financial Network, covers existing market trends and provides detailed metrics and industry statistics to analyze the factors that led to a successful MVNO business model, as well as real threats to MVNO profitability and its long-term success.
