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.
