MVNO Koolaid doesn't taste good anymore?

I predicted this. MVNOs just don't work...PERIOD. Look at the list of utter failures. Even Virgin Mobile eeks by, and they would have tanked had they not been the first ones to enter the market when Sprint didn't have a good pre-pay option.

Just add Helio to the scapheap along with ESPN mobile and Amp'd. I say migrate all of these users to Boost, then spin off that unit into its own company and merge it with a good collection agency to deal with its bum users.

Re: MVNO Koolaid doesn't taste good anymore?

What's a "good" collection agency going to do that any other can't? Nothing. The only thing they may be is call you and drive you nuts but it won't stop the customer from doing it again or just changing their phone numbers; making them private or using Vonage; number's arent put in under your name on caller ID in most cases, and they don't even list you in the phone book or anything else; the agency will just be spending more money trying to locate the people or trying to get money out of someone they will never actually deal with.

Prepaid MVNOs like Tracfone do just fine.
