Stumbled across an announcement of another MVNO: kajeet. This group is focused on "tweens" which I guess is 10-14 year olds? Not sure how this group will compete against Disney (& other carriers) but apparently the investment community believes the story because (according to reports)they raised $27M in Series A funding.
Awhile back some colleagues and I were kicking around a similar idea, but instead of focusing on "tweens" we would focus on "neareads" which is short for nearly deads. The brand would be Geriatric Wireless.
The business model penciled very well b/c we didn't even need a network. Just build a phone with a few buttons and put some canned audio on the device: "Hi Grandma, I love you", etc., etc.
