A business plan is more than a regulatory requirement or an investor document — it is the foundation for securing a host operator agreement. This article explores what MNOs truly look for when evaluating an MVNO proposal: credible volume forecasts, financial strength, operational readiness, regulatory compliance, brand protection, and strategic alignment. By understanding the host operator’s mindset and aligning the business case accordingly, MVNOs can turn a formal document into a powerful negotiation tool that builds trust, reduces perceived risk, and unlocks successful wholesale partnerships.
Solving Global IoT Connectivity challenges for Enterprises through the MVNE-MVNO Collaboration
Enterprises deploying IoT globally face mounting complexity across regulation, roaming, billing, and operations. This article explains how a collaborative MVNE–MVNO model, built around a unified connectivity management platform, enables enterprises to overcome these barriers through centralized control, compliance-ready architectures, and scalable orchestration—turning fragmented multi-operator environments into a single, enterprise-grade global IoT connectivity solution.
From AI Pilots to Profits: 2026 Roadmap for MVNOs
As MVNOs move into 2026, the challenge with AI is no longer experimentation—it is execution. The real opportunity lies in combining machine learning, which predicts outcomes such as churn, fraud, and pricing behavior, with Agentic AI, which can autonomously act on those predictions inside operational workflows. This article outlines a practical, phased roadmap for building the data foundations, skills, and governance needed to turn AI from isolated pilots into scalable profit engines, enabling MVNOs to convert intelligence into measurable business impact.
Navigating the Shifting Sands of IoT Connectivity
IoT MVNOs are entering a pivotal phase as eSIM (SGP.32) and Single Pane of Glass platforms reshape how connectivity is provisioned, managed, and monetised. The technical advantages that once set many IoT MVNOs apart are increasingly being adopted by MNOs, forcing a strategic reassessment. This article explores where sustainable differentiation still exists—highlighting the continued relevance of multi-IMSI, the importance of deep core network integration, and the growing role of intelligent connectivity orchestration. For MVNOs serving complex, international IoT deployments, the future lies in moving beyond megabytes toward value-driven, policy-aware, and context-rich connectivity solutions.
3 payment metrics MVNOs should track
As fraud pressures rise and customer acquisition costs continue to climb, payment performance has become a strategic issue for MVNOs—not just a finance concern. This article outlines three critical payment metrics every MVNO should be tracking in 2026: approval rate, decline reason distribution, and true cost per transaction. Together, these indicators reveal how much revenue is being captured, where legitimate transactions are being lost, and what payment processing really costs beyond headline rates. For MVNOs operating at scale, small improvements in these areas can translate into millions in incremental revenue.
The 5 Things US MVNOs Must Get Right in 2026
Modern MVNOs no longer differentiate on network access alone. While coverage, wholesale rates, and launch speed remain important, long-term success increasingly depends on how well the business understands and serves its customers. This article explains why CRM has become the structural backbone of modern MVNOs, sitting at the centre of increasingly complex OSS, BSS, billing, logistics, and support stacks. Rather than replacing these systems, CRM connects them—turning fragmented operations into coordinated customer journeys and enabling MVNOs to compete on experience, not just connectivity.
