“…For example, the authors in [33] analyze the light MVNO model and the wholesale discount offered by the MNO on the fulfilment of certain conditions set out in an agreement for the resale of the mobile service. References [6,9,15,34,35] analyze the MNO multi-tenancy approaches, that are increasingly gaining momentum, paving the way toward further decreasing capital expenditure and operational expenditure (CAPEX/OPEX) costs. These analyzes tackle the context of the 5G networks.…”

“…Besides, the evolution of mobile networks has reduced the barriers to MVNO entry and facilitated MNO-MVNO partnerships [7]. As a result, global MVNO market revenue reached about $60.5 billion in 2018 [8] and is forecast to grow to $103 billion in 2023 [9].…”

This paper analyzes the economic feasibility of a business model for multi-Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), which is an envisioned scenario in mobile telecommunications markets supported by 5G networks. A business model for the provision of service to end-users through an MVNO using the infrastructure support of two MNOs is proposed. We analyze the proposal though a model that captures both system and economic features. As regards the systems features, an MVNO provides service to final users using the infrastructure support of two MNOs. The agreement between MVNO and MNOs is such that the MVNO will split the network traffic between the two MNOs and will pay to each MNO for the traffic served through its infrastructure. As regards the economic features, the incentives are modelled through the user utilities and the operators’ profits; and game theory is used to model the strategic interaction between the users’ subscription decision and the MNO network capacities decision. We conclude that such a model is feasible from an economic point of view for all the actors.

“…Así mismo, la evolución de las redes móviles ha reducido las barreras para la entrada de los MVNOs y ha facilitado las asociaciones entre MNOs y MVNOs [5]. Como resultado de lo descrito, los ingresos del mercado global de MVNO han alcanzado cerca de 60.500 millones de dólares en 2018 y se prevé que crezcan hasta 103.000 millones de dólares en 2023 [6].…”

“…En el mismo sentido, los autores en [40] analizan el modelo de MVNO-ligero y el descuento al por mayor ofrecido por el MNO, sobre el cumplimiento de ciertas condiciones establecidas, en un acuerdo para la reventa del servicio móvil. Los autores en [6,[108][109][110] analizan en el contexto de las redes 5G el multi-arrendamiento del MNO que están ganando cada vez más impulso, allanando el camino hacia un menor gasto en CAPEX y OPEX. Al respeto de la relación MNO-MVNO, los autores en [84] concluyen que un escenario donde los MVNOs tienen una pequeña cuota de mercado, puede ser rentable en un principio de la asociación con un MNO.…”
