Lightyear is not a MVNO even though the market themselves that way. The MVNO is associated with the NRTC and you have to become a member of NRTC to even get involved. The deal is not that great and you don't have access to the latest phones. You can only sell last year's models and the data rate plans are weak. My 2 cents.

What is required to become a MVNO? Is there a difference in just offering data? Do you have to be a CLEC? Ah, so many questions... I could get some customers with this. I have turned prospective customers to these companies before that I could not service and they could not get DSL.

They both advertise it as unlimited, but if you read into it, it is not unlimited." "My question is, how or how can us WISP get access to sell a 3G or 4G plan on Sprint or Verizon as these plan's have been sold to other companies? I will get the Verizon company with unlimited access as soon as I can return back to the office." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
