MTN launches MVNO platform

MTN has launched a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service which will allow other operators without radio access networks of their own to launch mobile networks using MTN's infrastructure.

The company said that with its extensive national network that covers rural areas, it offers MVNO partners a high-quality network experience and opportunity to deliver innovative solutions that reach even more South Africans.

I hope this greed does not affect their network stability too much.

No. Reselling doesn't make you an MVNO.

When me and Swa are able agree on something, you must know you are probably the one that is wrong.

No. Reselling doesn't make you an MVNO.

Branded reseller

Sometimes referred to as a "Skinny MVNO", as the reseller almost totally relies on the MNO's facilities. They do not own any network elements, but may own and operate their own customer care, marketing, and sales operations.

Plus I doubt Air Mobile is just a reseller since they have their own pricing and branding.

Pricing and branding doesn't make them an MVNO. Taking a casual look at that it looks like they are reselling MTN bundles and loading them onto an MTN sim card. That's the definition of a reseller. An MVNO buys services on a wholesale level and then repackages it into smaller bundles.

Mind me a 2gig MTN data bundle for R69. I'll wait...
