- [eSIMs are creating new opportunities for smaller MVNOs while solving problems & derisking full MVNOs](https://virtuser.com/esims-are-creating-new-opportunities-for-smaller-mvnos-while-solving-problems-derisking-full-mvnos/): MVNOs are constantly evolving, here at Virtuser we have constantly been at the forefront of these developments as we roll up our sleeves and do; we don't just talk and implement other people's solutions & workarounds for their shortcomings - we build next generation platforms and solutions to any shortcomings: the first Hybrid MVNOs, the first Full MVNO, the first global eSIM MVNOs, the first major MVNO migrations, the first XML based OTA SIM and APN configurations ... first.

- [MVNO business processes are essential for scaling, growing and expanding an MVNO / IoT provider](https://virtuser.com/mvno-business-process-is-essential-to-scaling-gowing-and-or-expanding-an-mvno-iot-provider/): MVNOs and IOT providers have to attract customers early. When they have a new and competitive offering and marketing money is being spent, it is essential that an MVNO attracts customers.

If the MVNO fails to get a grip on its processes and this causes significant problems for customers, their brand can be badly damaged.

- [3 key MVNO Success factors over 20+ years of doing MVNOs and every one launched still being in business…](https://virtuser.com/3-key-mvno-success-factors-over-20-years-of-doing-mvnos-and-every-one-launched-still-being-in-business/): So many people ask what is the best type of MVNO to back either as an investor, a brand or working with MNOs, and MVNEs and MVNEs to define their strategy: At the end of the day backing an MVNO is like backing any business and a lot comes down to the team, product and market, but even then even a good team with the right product in the right market can not be successful for many reasons we cannot go into in a #shorts however there are three critical sucecss factors I have seen all successful MVNOS have over 2 decades of launching MVNOs (and every one we have launched still being in business!) Loyalty - if your MVNO is driving loyalty for your main business it will work, an example here is Tesco Mobile; people who have tesco mobile spend more of the grocery spend with that supermarket. These are business that have launched everything from banks, to video services, to insurance and more of the loyalty tie-ins but nothing is like Mobile for loyalty. Stickiness - Virgin media reported in a recent conference paper that 50% of their Mobile Capex was amortised alone in longer Broadband lifecycles... MVNO or bust - if your core business is or was dying, e.g. calling cards, some mobile first services, mobile app services, without an MVNO then... that is what you need to do. We will see everything from dating sites to social networks at least trying this before falling from favour / to competition.
- [Keep it Simple Short form video](https://virtuser.com/keep-it-simple-short-form-video/): There are two very simple reasons to keep it simple in Mobile, MVNO, IoT and even MVNE, MVNA, MVNx: 1) Simple sells; 2) your competitors think it won\'t! (never underestimate how much your competitors will try and thwart what they see as a \"competitive\" service / tariff)... (or how they won\'t see a simple tariff overtaking the market until its too late).
- [Will 5G enable driverless cars as the hype says?](https://virtuser.com/will-5g-enable-driverless-cars-as-the-hype-says/): Not a day goes by without a mention of 5G enabling something or other, yet, most of the devices we are installing in cars are 4G devices, replacing 2G and 3G devices. Many vehicles I have driven from Volvo, BMW, Mercedes and more have radar / lidar in the front and numerous cameras and promise some of the lower levels of car self driving (there were 5 at the last count, if you car to google them and disappear down that rabbit hole)... however they didn\'t even managed to stay in lane on a motorway with perfectly maintained lanes and lines, not even enough to make for example eating a sandwich more comfortable, let alone automated while I keep watch, as the marketing hype suggested I could.
