Wireless Carriers Thinking Young?
There had been a lot of talk about Virgin Mobile USA before they launched, as people wondered if they'd be able to replicate their success on the other side of the Atlantic. However, since launching it's seemed like they've been especially quiet. That may be changing. By focusing exclusively on young customers, Virgin Mobile USA claims they've been signing up plenty of customers. It will be interesting to see if other MVNOs start popping up in the US as well, and if they go after the same market - or cultivate other niche opportunities.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
