Orange UK has signed a new MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) partner, called C Mobile, according to Mobile Marketing Magazine – nothing out of the ordinary there you might think, other than they are apparently ‘environmentally-focused’…

What does that mean? Well they are ethically accredited with ‘The Ethical Company Organisation’, and they will give consumers an opportunity to find sustainable projects via ‘profit-based grants’.

At any rate, the MVNO has been brought on with Orange by Transatel, which is Orange’s MVNA (Mobile Virtual Network Aggregator) – yes, Orange has so many MVNOs going that it needs an aggregator! Well, if it’s good business, you always go after more, right?

About The Author

Ben Robinson

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
