“MOBILE NETWORK CARRIER”

(a mobile network operator is a provider of ‘wireless communications services’ that ‘owns’ (or ‘controls’) all the elements necessary to ‘sell’ + ‘deliver’ services to an ‘end user’ including…) 

‘radio spectrum allocation’

‘wireless network infrastructure’

‘back haul infrastructure’

‘billing’

‘customer care’

‘provisioning computer systems’

*’marketing’ + ‘repair’ organizations*

.

(in addition to obtaining revenue by offering retail services under its own brand, an MNO may also sell access to network services at wholesale rates to ‘mobile virtual network operators’ (MVNO))

(a key defining characteristic of a mobile network operator is that an MNO must own or control access to a radio spectrum license from a regulatory or government entity)

(a second key defining characteristic of an MNO is that it must own or control the elements of the network infrastructure necessary to provide services to subscribers over the licensed spectrum)

(a mobile network operator typically also has the necessary provisioning, billing and customer care computer systems and the marketing, customer care and engineering organizations needed to sell, deliver and bill for services)

.

(however, an MNO can outsource any of these ‘systems’/’functions’ and still be considered a ‘mobile network operator’)
