Wildberries is planning to launch a virtual mobile operator (MVNO). The terms of cooperation are being discussed with federal operators.
The most likely partner is considered to be operator T2. Although other operators are also actively investing in MVNO projects.
Representatives from VimpelCom, MegaFon, MTS, and T2 did not respond to questions about whether Wildberries is in negotiations with them to launch on their networks. Nevertheless, market participants expressed support for the entry of a new player, noting that this would increase competition.
T-Mobile is confident that the growth of the MVNO subscriber base will accelerate after the law on an independent arbitrator (SIC "Telecom") comes into force in September. This should simplify the number porting process. Yota also noted that they do not plan to change their development strategy due to the emergence of a new player in the market.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Promsvyazbank and a structure of Rosatom are launching a new mobile operator.
