In an increasingly digital world and fragmented telecommunications industry, MVNOs are on the rise, applying emerging technologies, exploring new ver ticals, and providing value to both consumers and existing mobile network operators (MNOs). Together with mobile virtual network enablers (MVNEs), which offer network infrastructure and related services to MVNOs, MVNOs allow carriers to expand into new geographic areas and provide unique features and products, increasing connectivity, and responding to niche consumer demands. Currently, MVNOs are well-established in the developed markets, and may become increasingly important in the developing markets as they mature. In recent years, competition in the MVNO market has shifted from pricing to value-added services and product differentiation, owing to the prominence of MNOs in the low-cost cellular services market, in both developed and developing countries. The United States boasts one of the largest MVNO markets in the world and has hosted hundreds of disparate virtual operators and sub-brands, over the last two decades. MVNOs flourished in the United States, due to the Lifeline subsidiary program run by FCC in the country. The major states in the United States have teamed up a few MVNOS, to provide mobile and broadband services at a very subsidized rate.
