With the explosion of MVNO business worldwide, which is expected to grow from $92.5 billion (2022) to 157.2 billion (by 2030), MNOs (Mobile Network Operators) are taking notice.
5G is here. With it comes the ability to bring into our lives things that we could only imagine before 5G – smart cities, Industry 4.0, greater mobility, and extended reality (XR) applications. While 5G is creating huge impacts worldwide, Asia is poised to be at the forefront of 5G-driven growth as they bring together a unique combination of factors that make it an ideal hub.
Brussels, [June,2024] — triPica, a leading provider of innovative telecom solutions, is happy to announce its outstanding achievements at the MVNOs World Congress held in Brussels. The company was honored with two prestigious awards: eSIM MVNO of the Year and Best Digital Experience MVNO/Sub-brand of the Year.
For years, telecom operators have faced an impossible dilemma: modernise their legacy BSS or stagnate. The problem? Modernisation has long been synonymous with excruciating migration projects, disruptive IT overhauls that devour budgets, delay innovation, and too often deliver underwhelming results. As McKinsey & Company has observed that approximately 70% of digital transformation initiatives do not succeed, companies need a new proven strategy.
MVNOs are not playing by the old rules, and it’s paying off. By ditching the obsession with megabytes and margins, they’ve found their edge in what truly matters: customer experience.
Fort-de-France, November 5th, 2025 — Wizzee, the 100% digital mobile brand powered by Digicel, has reached a major milestone in the French Caribbean, recording 30% of new activations via eSIM within just two months of launch of its e-SIM customer onboarding — double the company’s initial forecast.
Telecom service providers will have to make a choice soon, to innovate or to stagnate, under the increasing pressure created by a new breed of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), Digital Brands, the unforgiving push for personalised digital-first customer experiences.
The world’s first MVNO, Virgin Mobile UK, launched in 1999. Over the following two decades the number of MVNOs exploded to nearly 2,000 by 2022. With the introduction of 5G networks, the explosion of AI and platforms that support machine learning and IoT integration, the sky’s the limit for the attractive tailored services that MVNOs can build on.
