The MVNO market now numbers over 600 operations. Their proliferation is widespread throughout Europe, North America and many Asian countries and more recently the sector has seen launches in the Middle East. The sector contains headline grabbing operations with activities in multiple markets through to small players with revenue positive operations based upon incredibly niche markets. As a sector the MVNO market is incredibly active with launches, buy outs and failures.

Radioshacking up or not?
I hate giving attention to these massively overly hyped ad overly talked about MVNO possibles. I avoid like the plague every time the Apple or Google rumour jumps into action, but it does seem that Radio Shack are going to enter the mobile market. 5th September, coming to a retail unit near you (if you're in the USA), a RadioShack MVNO. What's the zing factor? That something to make the masses bin their current SIMs for a RadioShack SIM? Well, no one knows. It's all rumour .. or leak ... leaked rumour.
