virtuaaliverkkooperaattorit
Virtuaaliverkkooperaattorit, or virtual network operators (VNOs), are companies that provide mobile network services without owning the physical infrastructure. They lease capacity from mobile network operators (MNOs) and resell it to customers. This model allows VNOs to quickly enter new markets and offer services without the significant upfront investment required by traditional MNOs. VNOs can focus on specific customer segments, such as enterprise solutions, IoT services, or niche markets, while MNOs benefit from increased competition and revenue sharing. The relationship between VNOs and MNOs is typically governed by agreements that outline the terms of capacity leasing, pricing, and service level agreements. VNOs often use their own branding and customer support, providing a tailored experience to their target audience. This business model has gained traction in recent years, driven by the growth of mobile data usage and the increasing demand for specialized network services.
