Why an MVNO? The M2M deployerneeds to be independent of the telco to solveit’s business problems. Independent throughown HLR and IMSI’s
The M2M reality Procurementlawrequired a semi-publiccustomer to changemobile operators fortheir 10,000 devices, buttheycouldn’t €1 million+ swap for project and logistics, taking 6-24 months, reaching mobile, hard to reach and restrictedaccessdevices

4 problems: Roaming (1/4) It’s impossible to negotiategoodglobalroaming deals. Telco’s are local Roaming is Sudoku multivariate analysis. Different numbers same result
4 problems: Coverage (2/4) Coverage for static use is horrible and changes constantly Every network has gaps that fortunately don’t overlap between networks. National roaming needed
4 problems: Switching (3/4) Switching operators is impossible Not just renegotiating contracts, also mergers, acquistions or divestments
4 problems: Innovation (4/4) No innovation by the operators It is not in their interest to save their customers money, if it will cost them money. Iewifi offload.
