Telcordia partners with mPortal for MVNO solution
Rating: springy
The Software company Telcordia has teamed up with mPortal.
Why?
mPortal is a provider of mobile content and applications which are and have been embraced by the MVNO market. Telcordia provides a hosted solution and technology for the MVNO market. Now Telcordia will enhance its hosted services with the mPortal SPINGBOARD Content Delivery Manager.
What does this mean for MVNOs?
Basically; from now on any MVNO that signs up with Telcordia also gets off the shelf content from mPortal – so a pre-made mobile portal as well.
So What?
Data MVNO’s hardly exist and creating a mobile portal solution on top of creating voice service is often a headache for the new MVNO. With Telcordia and mPortal MVNOs’ benefit from a “plug in” style portal full of the latest content. This means a rich multi-media experience for consumers from day one.
What we think?
We have met mPortal a couple of times and we like them. This is a great “growth” step away from the Disney services that made a name for mPortal initially.
From the press release
“With 13 hosted MVNO customers worldwide so far, Telcordia understands what MVNOs need to be successful: a wide range of compelling content based on a niche market that will drive revenue and serve as a market differentiator,” said Mala Chandra, President, Service Delivery Solutions, Telcordia. “mPortal’s client, platform and content, paired with the Telcordia Hosted Solution for MVNOs, gives operators a turnkey, end-to-end mobile content service delivery solution that is unmatched.”
