Walt Disney's CRO Thomas Staggs said that the Disney MVNO has faced "some challenges," and now the parent company is "in the process of evaluating where we sit." Staggs made the comment during an appearance at the Merrill conference in Marina del Rey, according to a report in Silicon Alley Insider. Staggs added that the MVNO business lacks the scale necessary to be successful.

Disney terminated its Mobile ESPN MVNO service a year ago this month.
