Virgin Mobile announces "heavy" for tomorrow morning. And this is Richard Branson, founder of Virgin, who will unveil this new innovation from the Full MVNO.
" Virgin Mobile is pleased to invite you to a special breakfast in the presence of Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group . " This is the teaser that we received from the mobile operator that gives us and go to Paris tomorrow!
The mere presence of Richard Branson announces the color. We had not had the opportunity to see him in France for Virgin Mobile, since the launch of the operator 3 April 2006. In addition, the operator openly promises a "new innovation" via his Twitter account. As a result, nearly 70 journalists will be here tomorrow morning, according to our information.
Launch 4G with SFR and Bouygues Telecom?
The mystery remains around this announcement. We tried hard to glean some information here and there, but our contacts have kept secret the slightest clue. We just had the right to " it will be a good offer , "but we promise no more revolution.
However, some colleagues believe that it would be the launch of a 4G agreement with an incumbent. And Le Figaro announced, in a first time, the launch of Virgin Mobile's 4G thanks to an agreement signed SFR. But the information was clearly not reliable, since the day has finally seen his copy and announced at the end of the day, it was finally an agreement with Bouygues Telecom. Note that this last-launch its national 4G network as of 1 October and the schedule coincides with the potential arrival of 4G Virgin Mobile via Bouygues Telecom network. This would also be an interesting novelty since Virgin Mobile is already in partnership with Orange and SFR on 2G/3G networks.
In this perspective, Virgin Mobile would be the first mobile virtual network operator to offer 4G offers to its customers. That would be quite a leap forward since the operator, which has 1.7 million customers, is not remarkable for its 3G + offers that limit most of the time the simple 3G after many return customers that we have on our forum . Even as MVNOs are more likely to offer the H + up to 42 Mbps.
But there's a safe bet that Virgin Mobile will not be limited to 4G. The infrastructure put in place by the Full MVNO should allow innovation that we will discover tomorrow.
