ROK Entertainment Group, the mobile technologies, applications and services provider, announces the availability of a specially-packaged suite of revenue-generating products designed to enable MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) to compete with mainstream Mobile Network Operators (MNOs).
A mobile virtual network operator is a telecoms company that provides mobile phone services without owning its own network. MVNOs essentially buy capacity in bulk and resell it at retail rates. However, with Average Revenue per User (ARPU) levels falling across the mobile industry, it is widely recognized that the business models under which most MVNOs have operated to date, need to be changed.
"Until now, most MVNOs have been competing for customers through the only means they have -- that of price-dumping their voice and text service offerings," said Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman and CEO of ROK. "However, with Operator hosts doing likewise, the margins for most MVNOs have been steadily eroding and are, in many instances, unsustainable."

ROK's MVNO product pack includes such services as low-cost mobile calling technologies, low-cost SMS technologies as well as ROK TV, Push Inbox mobile email, FreeBe TV, ROK Comics, News on Demand and Fonepark Mobile Content.
"Our aim is to level the playing field for MVNOs through offering them a one-stop-shop of relevant and appropriate revenue-generating services designed to raise ARPU, reduce customer churn and enable our partner MVNOs to pro-actively poach customers from rival network operators," added Kendrick.
