There are plenty of terms getting tossed around in the telecom industry these days, and one of them is MVNO.

MVNO or mobile virtual network operator is an alternative to traditional data and phone services providers. They act as a refreshing option for people who are sick of the red tape, excess fees and problems that come hand-in-hand with relying on the bigger companies. MVNOs provide data and cell phone services directly to their customers, which makes them a preferable option.
