Could we be seeing the end of MVNOs?

Some of the MVNOs targeting younger children (like Kajeet) may fare better as they are looking to sign up new subscribers rather than to lure them from existing plans. Parents are footing the bill for these younger children, but are not necessarily ready to have their youngest children on the family plan. They seek the control and options offered by new entrants such as Disney Mobile and Kajeet. If Kajeet and Disney play their cards right, they can corner this market. Really, it makes sense: what better audience to capture than those who don’t already have the service? Getting people to switch is difficult — by nature people resist change, and beyond that, you have the issue of prior commitments. With the younger audience, you’re bringing in fresh customers. We like their business models. [RCRWireless News]]]>
