US Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) - Market - IMG1

Key Highlights

  • Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) offer mobile communication services by leasing network access from established mobile network operators (MNOs) rather than owning physical infrastructure like cell towers and network equipment. 5G MVNO technology, known for its superior data speeds, minimal latency, and heightened connectivity, offers MVNOs a robust foundation to expand their services beyond traditional voice and data. This has led to the emergence of Enterprise MVNOs, with sectors like logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare spearheading the trend by establishing and managing their private networks.
  • Similarly, eSIM technology benefits MVNOs and mobile operators. With eSIM, MVNOs can easily swap carriers on a single device without a physical SIM card. This can significantly reduce the cost and time required to activate new mobile services. eSIM also allows MVNOs to offer new flexible services, such as temporary local operator connectivity or specialized services for specific verticals, such as the Internet of connected devices. For instance, in March 2024, Vodafone Idea, a major telecom operator known by its short form VI, launched services for its prepaid users.
  • Artificial intelligence can potentially benefit MVNOs in several ways. One potential application is to improve customer personalization and next-best actions through the use of AI and machine learning algorithms. This could help MVNOs tailor their services to individual customer preferences and needs, leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty. Additionally, AI could help optimize wireless resource allocation, which is particularly important in the highly competitive and regulated telecom industry where MVNOs operate. AI algorithms could also predict maintenance needs and automate certain processes, such as customer service chatbots. Overall, AI has the potential to enable MVNOs to improve their efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the customer experience. Trends like these are expected to drive the studied market.
  • As the country embraces digital transformation, trends like the rise of connected devices, machine-to-machine communication, cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and edge computing underscore the urgent need for high-speed, efficient networks.

These MVNOs are set to enhance connectivity solutions, seamlessly integrating them with devices and services spanning vehicles, medical instruments, wearables, and industrial machinery.
  • Rising government pressure and increasing competition are forcing telecom vendors to reduce tariff prices to stay in the market. Thus, the telecom sector is becoming highly price sensitive. Most MVNOs leverage the low-cost model to gain customers. This market has a low profit margin because MVNOs offer consumers cheaper rates by renting spectrum from major carriers. They function as wholesalers who purchase bandwidth in large quantities from extensive carrier networks and sell at a discount to consumers.

US Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Market Trends

The Reseller Segment is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market

  • Resellers act as intermediaries, selling services from a provider or operator while adhering to a standard service-level agreement (SLA). The overall service provider or operator issues a single bill. A reseller MVNO can operate under its own brand or co-brand with an MNO. Typically, these branded resellers come with established brand distribution channels or a substantial existing customer base, which they can leverage for sales. The mobile reseller model caters to companies aiming to offer customized mobile communication tariffs to their clientele. In contrast, the branded reseller model suits companies looking to enhance their brand with mobile communication services.
  • Resellers are typically the most readily accepted type of MVNO by mobile network operators (MNOs), as MNOs retain control over most processes. This model allows MVNOs the potential to offer their own value-added services (VAS). With limited liability, this market segment presents fewer risks for MVNOs, but it also curtails revenue opportunities due to the lack of operational control. In this model, MVNOs partner with MNOs without holding any assets. This means they do not own the client, the infrastructure, or the SIM, nor do they have the ability to set prices. However, MVNOs do maintain control over distribution and branding functionalities.
  • Reseller MVNOs benefit from quicker market entry and lower startup costs, as they rely on network operators to manage most infrastructure needs. However, these resellers still bear the expenses for marketing, sales, and distribution. With the increasing adoption of 4G and 5G technologies, the reseller model is poised to seize significant opportunities in the coming years. For example, Venn Mobile, a newly launched MVNO, operates under Teltik, a reseller aligned with T-Mobile's business strategy. Venn Mobile offers a monthly plan priced at USD 30, featuring unlimited talk, text, data, and a 50GB mobile hotspot allowance.
  • Additionally, technological advancements have also played a crucial role. The proliferation of smartphones and the increasing mobile internet penetration have created fertile ground for MVNOs to offer innovative data-centric services. Also, the rollout of 4G and the anticipated expansion of 5G networks provide opportunities for reseller MVNOs to deliver high-speed data services without heavy infrastructure investments. Such initiatives are driving the market positively. According to VIAVISION, as of 2023, 5G network access was available in 503 cities in the United States, the most of any country globally.
  • The latest wave of MVNOs is prioritizing the launch and upkeep of unique service capabilities. These capabilities blend a cloud-centric approach, API-driven communication service integration, and predominantly web-based self-care options, all while relying minimally on traditional communications infrastructure. By adopting lean and agile business processes, these MVNOs are not only competing with established operators but are also enhancing customer satisfaction and introducing price differentiation. They are leveraging PaaS for functions like billing, CRM integration, product catalog management, rating, invoicing, and bill formatting. This choice is strategic because these applications operate without direct end-user intervention and benefit from asynchronous background processing.
