Responsibility for the Enabling layer
Pros
Cons
MNO in full control
(coherent with a “retail minus” approach)
High impact on IT (unless very standard offer)
Generates complexity when multiplying MVNOs
Less innovation for MVNO offer / more
cannibalisation risk for MNO
MVNO
MVNO gets most freedom
(e.g. Tele2 full MVNO model)
Complex and outside core competence
Business case may not fly due to higher investment
MVNE
Shared investment / Integration done once
Reduce complexity & upfront risk for MNO & MVNO
Time to market / Focused innovation
MNO / MVNO strategy depends on external partner
(joint venture being a possible solution)
Requirement for
differentiation
MNO
HIGH
¨ The Enabling layer can be a Key Success Factor
to maximise value both for MVNO & MNO
MVNE
Let the MVNO differentiate in order to increase
attractiveness of his offer and minimise cannibalisation
on MNO customer base
z Provide a turnkey solution to minimise costs and
effort to integrate and retain new MVNOs
z
MVNO
LOW
