The MVNO model is, by now, well established. Most people are familiar with the concept of a service provider renting capacity from an established MNO and reselling it to establish its own business. Some do this to add mobile capabilities to existing operations, while others do so to exploit a brand or specific market segment.

While many see an MVNO as simply a lightweight operational company that is focused more on sales and marketing than its network capabilities, such a focus is short sighted. In order to maximise operational efficiency, all MVNOs must, at some point in their development cycle, turn their attention to the infrastructure that supports their operations. Whether you are an established MVNO or seeking to become one, keeping control of costs is a vital ingredient for your success.
Making sure that you efficiently optimise your operational costs will go a long way to ensuring that you maximise profits and returns and generate the kind of sustained success to which you aspire. It is no longer sufficient to rely on arbitrage between call termination and origination rates to ensure profit.
