A new MVNO model may be emerging as traditional approaches—mainly competing on price and ever-larger data bundles—begin to show their limits. With hundreds of operators active in markets like Spain and consolidation already underway, the opportunity is to rethink the fundamentals: radical transparency with no fine print, a creator-centric approach that connects telecom services with digital communities, and a fully digital, AI-driven operation. Instead of complex bundles filled with services many users no longer rely on, the concept focuses on simple, real-time pay-as-you-go pricing and communities rather than conventional subscribers—designed especially for a generation that has largely moved beyond traditional voice and SMS.

Shape Shifters – MVNOs as Digital Transformation Catalysts
In the digital era, Mobile Virtual Network Operators are increasingly positioned to act as adaptive platforms rather than traditional telecom resellers, and the Value Disciplines framework provides a useful lens to understand how they can evolve into catalysts of transformation. By anchoring their strategy in Customer Intimacy, Operational Excellence, or Product Leadership, MVNOs can shape distinct paths to value creation while still integrating elements of all three. Customer Intimacy enables deep understanding of usage behavior and the delivery of hyper-personalized services through advanced data analytics and AI; Operational Excellence focuses on streamlining service delivery, automation, and cost efficiency to provide reliable connectivity at attractive price points; and Product Leadership encourages the development of distinctive, ecosystem-driven offerings that align closely with emerging customer needs. When supported by a platform-based operating model, strong partnerships, and agile talent structures, these disciplines allow MVNOs to move beyond connectivity provision and actively influence the design of digital services, experiences, and business models across the broader telecom ecosystem.
