The process of becoming a mobile network operator within a country usually begins by acquiring a Radio Spectrum licence from the government. The precise spectrum obtained does depend on the type of Mobile Phone technology the operator intends to deploy. For example, a Global System For Mobile Communications (GSM) network will require a GSM Frequency Range . The Government may allocate spectrum using whichever method it chooses, although the most common method is an Auction . Recent allocation of 3G licences in Europe have been sold by auction to the highest bidder. VIRTUAL OPERATORS Another category of mobile network operator is emerging in some markets called the Mobile Virtual Network Operator or MVNO . As far as the subscriber is concerned, they seem identical to regular mobile network operators. The critical difference is that they do not own the underlying network, but lease it instead from another incumbent operator in that country. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
