Vodafone ceases network partnership with ExtremeMob (UK)

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Vodafone has ended its network partnership with the MVNO, ExtremeMob and now the MVNO looks for a new partner. ExtremeMob had won a Vodafone licence in 2005 and since then the official launch for the services is being delayed, hampering the launch of Advantage Cellular as well. Extreme’s launch also suffered another setback because an overhaul of the MVNO’s content offering.
Ian Pond, managing director of ExtremeMob UK, said that ‘given the recurring delays’ he was reluctant to say when the MVNO would launch.
Pond said: ‘It’s not looking like summer this year. It’s at a difficult point at the moment. It’s a lengthy process, and it’s taking longer than we had hoped.’
He added that tying up a deal with another network was ‘one of the things that ExtremeMob need to work on’.
Though Pond suggests that the possibility of MVNO launch in Poland will be before the UK.
