Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) have traditionally been regarded as a complement to traditional operators. By offering bundles and services aimed at highly specific segments of the market, MVNOs in the US carved out a niche largely serving the needs of lower-income customers or those with particular data needs.
But in 2019, the landscape is rapidly shifting. Technological advancements have made the barrier for operating some kind of network much lower; the entrance of cable companies into the market have pushed MVNO service into the more lucrative postpaid segment; and multi-network MVNOs are innovating on the network side of the equation, rather than solely differentiating on price or customer service.
