August 15th, 2006Disney has confirmed that it is postponing the launch of a virtual network in the UK. The company had signed an MVNO agreement with Telefonica’s O2 network but has now decided not to launch the network. Disney officials said that the company had expected to launch its network by the end of this year, but has now delayed the launch indefinitely.
Distribution outlets have been consolidating and there is now increased competition. However, we will keep one eye on the landscape.
