Can Virgin Get Into The Phone Groove In The US?
News.com takes a look at the prospect for Virgin Mobile's US launch. They point out, interestingly, that Best Buy and 7-Eleven are doing fairly limited rollouts of the Virgin Mobile offering. They're experimenting and testing to see market demand before doing a major rollout. Only Target has agreed to offer Virgin Mobile in the majority of its stores. Probably not the initial channel support that the folks from Virgin were hoping for.
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.
