In 1999, the British OFTEL regulator (The Office of Telecommunications) first proposed the use of the term MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator). Since then, companies around the world, from banks to logistics corporations, have created their own virtual communication operators. .According to a WiseGuyReports report, by the end of 2020, 110.7 million people will use the services of mobile virtual operators (MVNO) in Europe.
We at JeraSoft have been developing billing solutions for communications operators for 12 years already, and more than a dozen of implementations have taken place over this period. An efficient and accurate billing system is necessary for most businesses that offer subscription-based services: Internet service providers, telecom providers (wholesale VoIP, SMS, OTT, MVNO, Retail VoIP, Mobile VoIP) and IoT providers, data centers, content service providers, cloud services and others.
The telecom industry evolves like a shot. About 10 years ago it seemed as though everything would be stable and predictable, but today we see new business ideas appearing almost every day. So, in this post, we’re going to present one of the most interesting models and will provide a general overview how to start an MVNO.
What do you really need to start MVNO?
