DUBLIN: The "MVNO Business Plan Financial Modeling Tool" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This configurable Excel spreadsheet provides a five-year pro-forma projection for the "Contendus" MVNO, based on user-defined assumptions. The financial model within the spreadsheet includes P&L, COGs, CAPEX, HR Costs, Cash Flow, Other Costs, Drivers and Revenue, Graphs and Summary.

The spreadsheet provides data points for analysis as well as a format for modeling your own parameters for a financial assessment of your MVNO business plan.

The MVNO Business Plan Financial Modeling Tool provides two important functions:

• Provides guidance to the user regarding what to address for MVNO financial planning
• Provides a framework for one's own unique financial modeling for an MVNO launch
• This configurable Excel spreadsheet provides pro forma information for a five-year projection based on assumptions for the MVNO known as Contendus. The spreadsheet provides content for analysis and format for modeling your own data to develop an MVNO Business Plan financial assessment.

A financial modeling tool, especially one in a flexible spreadsheet format such as this offering, is crucial for planning an MVNO for several key reasons:

• Forecasting and Scenario Planning: MVNOs have complex cost structures and revenue streams. The tool allows you to project financial performance over a five-year horizon, testing different assumptions about subscriber growth, pricing, network usage, and operating costs. This helps in understanding potential profitability and identifying key drivers of success.
• Investment and Funding: Securing funding for an MVNO launch requires a robust business plan with detailed financials. The model provides the data and projections needed to demonstrate the venture's viability to potential investors or lenders.
• Risk Management: By modeling different scenarios (e.g., higher churn rates, lower ARPU, increased competition), you can assess the financial risks and develop mitigation strategies. This is essential for navigating the volatile telecom market.
• Decision Making: The tool supports informed decision-making across various aspects of the business, from pricing strategies and marketing campaigns to network investments and partnership agreements.
• Operational Efficiency: By tracking key metrics and comparing them against projections, you can identify areas for improvement in operational efficiency and cost management.
• Negotiations: When negotiating with mobile network operators (MNOs) for wholesale airtime or with vendors for equipment and services, the financial model provides a basis for understanding costs and potential profitability.
• This financial modeling tool acts as a virtual laboratory, enabling users to simulate different strategies and assess financial impacts before committing resources. This helps in developing a sound business plan, securing funding, and ultimately increasing the chances of success in the competitive MVNO landscape.

The Mobile Virtual Network Operator Segment

MVNOs are the most recent step in the evolution of the wholesale element in the wireless industry. The progression of this class of operators in the mobile communications space has evolved over the years once network coverage became national and national brand names entered the space.

More expanded wireless business models for MVNOs are being developed that can be tightly integrated into an overall content distribution and brand strategy and targeted at customers across multiple networks. As networks overlap, so do the overlap in customer relationships. Mobile carriers must realize that their customers are also online customers of services that may be distributed across other networks.

Major brand-name MVNOs will look less like mobile operators and more like an extension of their overall brand distribution; providing their content in a flexible, personalized manner, wherever the customer is and whenever they want. This means that the most efficient network for delivering content may not be available at the exact time that the customer wants it.

The ability to scale or manipulate content to adapt to whichever network must be used for this immediate customer demand requires full adoption of QoS standards as well as uniform mapping of those QoS standards across wireless and fixed networks. Further, MVNOs must be positioned to have their content readily accessible in formats personalized to the customer's preferences.

The dynamic nature of delivering customized content across multiple networks is what will set apart future MVNOs from current-generation MVNOs. Most mobile service content today is independent from on-line content - even closely related online content. Since the customer's subscription is with the mobile carrier, the delivery of content to their mobile is limited or restricted by the content the mobile provider makes available.
