3 to carry MVNO
Just like a real network
Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup/Recovery
3UK, the 3G provider much derided for coming late to the UK mobile party, can now count itself among the grown-ups as it agrees to provide network infrastructure to a new MVNO from Gamma Telecom.
Gamma Telecom already provides telephony services to small and medium sized companies around the UK, and the new MVNO will be targeted at that market.
Register readers might also remember the company as the ultimate owner of the London numbers reclaimed from Skype back in November, though the reclaiming was done by a third party to whom Gamma had leased the numbers.
MVNOs are generally expected to target niche markets, ideally those not already being supplied by their carrying network. But Gamma's new venture could easily step on the toes of a network operator unless it's bundled with a fixed-telephony service - something 3 cannot and does not offer.

.. 3 making a smart move ??!!
Good thing
Actually its the other way round. 3 use to use O2, but have now switched to Orange.
Given 3s lack of presence in the SME market, and that Gamma are well known for creating systems which are easy to use by resellers, this is a very smart move by 3. As other networks refuse to allow access to resellers I can see 3 cleaning up via Gamma.
Re: RE: Mage
Used to. 3 use O2 now, and will probably use T-Mobile in the future as they're already partnering on 3G infrastructure.
