Another US MVNO?
Rumor has it that Orange is considering an entry to the US market as an MVNO. A GSM carrier would be a logical choice because it could support their international roaming customers. But as the rumor goes, talks have already broken down with Voicestream and they are talking to Cingular and SprintPCS. You have to wonder if an MVNO is such a good idea given the intense price competition in the US wireless market and the expected consolidation.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
