WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
The Besen Group, an international mobile data industry management consulting
practice headquartered in the Washington DC area, with representatives in Paris
and Tokyo, announced today key MVNO success factors. 

"Given the multiple number of MVNO failures in the US and abroad, we continue to
believe that the MVNO business model is disruptive and provides a great business
opportunity to companies and investors who best understand the converged mobile
ecosystem," said Alex Besen, founder of The Besen Group LLC. "We expect many new
players to enter the mobile market as MVNOs including cable companies, credit
card companies, European football clubs, competitive local exchange carriers,
computer and handset manufacturers, software companies, retail banks, big box
retailers, electronic and entertainment device manufacturers, satellite and
international mobile operators." 

Robert Dygas, an MVNE and MVNO advisor of The Besen Group LLC added, "A
successful MVNO will be the one who understands the lifestyle of its target
segment in terms of mobility and meets their needs by delivering branded mobile
product and mobile data services." 

According to The Besen Group, the key MVNO success factors are:

* Funding 
* Branding 
* Selection of partners 
* Go-To-Market-Strategy 
* Existing & loyal customer base 
* Access to open mobile Internet 
* Management team with hands-on mobile experience 
* Understanding the capabilities and limitations of current mobile networks,
including 3G and 4G mobile broadband technologies and applications
