17. Wireless Revenues

18. Options… • Build your own network • Cost and time • Become an Agent of a existing Wireless Carrier and use their brand • Using someone else’s brand and comes with low residuals • Become a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) • A low cost solution for your brand and bundling strategy

19. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly • Building your own network…. • Control • Spend millions of dollars to acquire spectrum, build out network • Spend millions to maintain network

20. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly • Becoming an Agent…. • Easy • Advertise and promote “someone” else's brand • Subscriber is not yours, the monthly revenue stream is not yours, carriers change commission fee structure often

21. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly • MVNO Opportunity…. • Presents easier access to market, lower risks and capital requirements, maintain ownership of subscriber • Using carriers network and working within carrier constraints • Negotiating a direct relationship is time consuming, requires development costs to build proper back office and support structure

22. What’s an MVNE? • The MVNO option does provides a fast track to entering the wireless world with lower capital risk – but it does require wireless know how and back office support • Partnering with an Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE) is a viable alternative • Why MVNE?

23. Why MVNE? • Established relationships with carriers • Has already built the back office to • fully integrate with the carrier, • established relationships with other ILEC billing vendors, and • be able to rate and bill wireless records • Expertise in device procurement and support

24. Conclusions • Providing wireless services to your customers is • A new source of revenue • Allows bundled services to maintain stickiness • Defensive strategy to keep out the competition

25. Work with Experienced MVNE • Established relationships with carriers • Have already built the back office to • fully integrate with the carrier, • established relationships with other ILEC billing vendors, and • be able to rate and bill wireless records • Expertise in device procurement and support
