Mobile was formed in 2003 by a team of telecom, internet and brand
people from the USA and Europe. It is headquartered in Dublin Ireland
with local presence in Portugal, UK, and USA (Boston and San
Francisco). The company was formed specifically to target
the emerging markets that blend the mobile device with the brand – a
blending that place values not just on the bandwidth, but on the use of
the bandwidth. The “brand in their hand” vision is a blend of visions
from branded offerings like MBNA and FairMarket (now eBay), from
wireless operators like BT and DoCoMo, and from the enabling approaches
of the traditional OEMs like Retix and Openet.
And
you can’t look back without also looking forward: We believe that the
future of mobile services is not limited by the technology – but by the
trust that consumers put in their providers. The emergence of MVNOs is
one step closer to the vision of trust providers – and the emergence of
intermediation of services from the brands that are trusted by each
specific consumer. |
