俄罗斯电信一直坚持扩展服务这个策略，从固网连接到网络电视，现在即将成为移动虚拟运营商。

 

有专家分析称，该项目投资不多而且资金将主要用于投放广告。

 

俄罗斯电信属国有企业，其将签署一份协议开始正式运营移动虚拟运营商业务，使用由RTK控股的T2网络。在近几个月，与T2的合资企业将使用T2的品牌。俄罗斯电信在合资企业中享有45%股份。这项协议将促使俄罗斯电信提供并出打包出售移动服务包括固网、宽带和付费电视。

 

移动虚拟运营商是无线通信服务提供商，虚商没有自己的基础设施但移动网络运营商签署协议提供服务，并能独立地设置零售价。

 

FOCUS: Russia’s Rostelecom to act soon as MVNO on Tele2 network

 

Key words:Rostelecom

 

Russia’s Rostelecom is consistent in its strategy to expand services, which vary from fixed line connection to IPTV, and will soon debut as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO).

 

Analysts said the project will not consume much investment and money will be mostly spent on advertisements.

 

State-controlled Rostelecom will sign an agreement to start operating as an MVNO on the network of T2 RTK Holding, its own joint venture with Tele2, functioning under the latter’s brand, within the nearest months. Rostelecom keeps 45% in the joint venture.The agreement will enable Rostelecom to provide and sell mobile services in a package with fixed line, broadband and pay TV.

 

An MVNO is a wireless communications services provider that does not own infrastructure, but enters into an agreement with a mobile network operator to provide services. It sets its retail prices independently.

 

 

 

众所周知，在覆盖区域的边缘地区有更多的语音和数据业务但尚没有人获得此类商业模式或是监管关系的权利。

 

ViRural将在尼日利亚建设2000个基站解决这方面的需求。Russell Southwood向ViRural集团的CEO阐述了他们将如何做。

 

Talley有金融背景并且在非洲工作的时候发现了农村通信的机会：“我当时是帮助政府筹集资金以建造基础设施。当时和外界的城市缺乏联系，令我很是苦恼。于是我想到了一个很有趣的机会：一些农村地区的电信”。不像此前使用低成本基站的尝试，“ViRural已经基本将现存竞争对手以及软件买下，在这方面真的没有竞争优势，我们只是收购现存竞争对手并将它们放在一起”。

 

ViRural’s “upside-down” MVNO will fill the rural gaps in Africa, starting with Nigeria

 

Key words:MVNO

 

Everyone knows that there’s more voice and data business at the edge of the current coverage areas but no-one yet has either got the business model or the regulatory relationships right.

 

ViRural is setting out to build 20,000 base stations in Nigeria to address just this need. Russell Southwood spoke to ViRural Group’s CEO Paul Talley about how they will do it.

 

Talley comes from a finance background and spotted the rural communications opportunity whilst working in Africa:”I was working helping Governments raise capital to build infrastructure. I was struck by the lack of connectivity outside urban areas. I thought this looks like an interesting opportunity: telecoms to serve rural areas.”Unlike various previous attempts using low cost base stations (like the now-defunct Altobridge), ViRural has simply bought together existing components and software:”There really isn’t a technological advantage here. We’re simply taking existing components and putting them together.”

 

 

 

Otono网络目前着力发展家族成员中的品牌虚商针对非常特别的市场，并且再次期望用自我激活的SIM卡作为区分。

 

Otono近期推出品牌名为Krew移动的39美元每月的服务包。Krew提供一条线为父母提供国内无限制通话、短信、数据，还有两条线为小孩儿提供通话和短信。

 

小孩儿的线路可以通过其父母的一条短信远程激活。这两条线可以共同享有30小时用于语音和短信的手机服务。

 

据Otono的首席执行官Emir Aboulhosn介绍，这个计划是为了为小孩儿在连不上wifi的时候提供短暂的移动服务，尤其是当手机像一个ipod时，手机是连不上移动网络的。这项服务对单亲家庭很适用，他们的小孩儿就不是总是需要移动连接，预算又很紧张。

 

Otono Networks’ new MVNO, Krew Mobile, targets parents and youngsters with remotely activated SIMs

 

Key words:new MVNO Krew Mobile

 

Otono Networks is growing its little family of branded MVNOs targeted at very specific niches. And once again it’s hoping to use self-activating SIM cards as a differentiator.

 

Otono recently launched a $39 monthly offering branded Krew Mobile. Krew includes one line for a parent with unlimited nationwide talk, text and data, and two lines for children with talk and text.

 

The kids’ lines can be remotely activated by parents via a text from their own handsets. Those two lines share 30 one-hour blocks of cellular access that can be used for voice and text.

 

The idea, according to Otono CEO Emir Aboulhosn, is to give kids temporary access to cellular when they can’t connect using Wi-Fi, particularly on “phones being used as iPods” because they no longer access cell networks. The service could be ideal for single parents, he said, whose children don’t often need cellular access and whose budgets are already stretched thin.
