Over the past year, I’ve had dozens of conversations with providers across the US, Europe, Africa, Mexico and Brazil about their IoT strategies. The same themes keep coming up: scalability, cost efficiency, differentiation and how to manage millions of devices without...
When glancing through the previous guest blogs, it is impossible to miss all the promises, hopes and opportunities with AI. The willingness to incorporate AI is clear. So are the hopes that it will disrupt telco in the same way it has law and software engineering....
Are we ready for AI? Let´s answer this important question! There is an increasing hype around AI technologies among our Global MVNO industry, but very scarce real cases where AI has proven a visible business value. Through multiple interactions with diverse players in...
Back in 1987, I joined British Telecom as a technician apprentice, just as the industry was shifting from clunky copper-based step and relay switches in Central Offices to the shiny promise of System X and digital. My most prized possession at the time was one of the...
South Africa’s MVNO market is no longer a quiet experiment—it’s a bold blueprint. With a projected market size of USD 132.34 million by 2030, growing at a 7.8% CAGR, the country is proving that telecom innovation doesn’t require Silicon Valley budgets or European...
Introduction Hybrid MVNO models, which combine career wholesale agreements with other shared wireless access like CBRS and Wi-Fi, are no longer experiments. Charter, Comcast, Rakuten, and others have already proved their value by adopting these models. Charter is...
If you’re like most MVNO executives, you may not think much about your payment processor. If you do, you’re likely to focus on three key factors: brand reputation, API integration ease, and processing rates. These are important considerations, but you might be missing...
It is interesting to see how Artificial Intelligence (AI) use-cases are now shaping up the telecom industry and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in Europe. A recent MIT report titled “The GenAI Divide : State of AI in Business 2025” on GenAI adoption...
Setting the stage… and why I’ll need to I enjoy exploring different angles when writing my posts for MVNO Index. This one, however, might be a little different: it may go against the grain, and I’ll also draw on insights from other colleagues to support my arguments....
With a dedication to the growth of the MVNO industry and its expert roster of guest authors – the MVNO Index has spent the past year delivering a range of voices that explore the industry’s opportunities and challanges. As some one who has advocated across the...
Artificial intelligence is everywhere you look these days. From chatbots that answer customer questions at midnight to models that predict when a cell tower will get overloaded, AI has become the poster child for innovation. But there’s a widespread misconception...
The mobile landscape is filled with opportunity for brands seeking to enter wireless. But there are multiple paths you can take: Should you launch under a “powered by” model on an existing MVNO platform, or invest in building your own MVNO from scratch? Both paths...
AI is all the range in technology reporting today but according to McKinsey, outside of companies offering AI front end services, AI has not translated into P & L for many companies that have embraced AI in principle. And amazingly, for such a new(ish) technology,...
Introduction In an era of rapidly changing demand at the edge, traditional approaches to communications and technology delivery are substantially constrained. Historically the telecommunications industry has focused on providing connectivity as the core value...
Let’s face it: most legacy BSS platforms weren’t built for the kind of MVNOs we see emerging today. They were designed for telcos with big budgets, long product cycles, and slow, hierarchical decision-making. But modern MVNOs? They move fast, test often, and build...
