The MNO Directory 2011 - (Mobile Network Operators) - Americas; Asia-Pacific; East & Western Europe
Which mobile operators are active in Bulgaria? Where is Vodafone current operating? How many active mobile network operators are active in Africa? Is there a list of MNOs that I can load into a CRM system that my sales people can use?
A well-established staple of the global telecommunications industry, Blycroft Publishing’s MNO Directory is used daily by sales people, operators, financial instiutions and government bodies to locate active MNOs around the world.
The 2011 edition has 816 mobile network operators (featuring both management contacts, network technology and subscriber data), of which 71 MNOs are new to the 2011 edition, and 4G for the first tim e. It tracks mobile network operators; entities that principally offer mobile voice services as their primary activity using their own licensed spectrum frequencies across their own network of mobile towers and switches. WLL, MVNO, WiFi and WiMAX (MNOs which also provide WiMAX are tracked) only operators are not included in The MNO Directory.
Research was conducted throughout 4Q 2010 for release in January 2011. Subscriber data for the Africa & Middle East has been extracted from Blycroft’s weekly research service, 'Africa & Middle-East Telecom-Week' (www.africantelecomsnews.com). Other subscriber data has been extracted from operators and regulators. WiMAX information has been extracted from the Blycroft WiMAX Directory, published September 2010.
Information such as network technology has been retained from previous editions, while fields such as ownership have been used as a guide to either confirm or replace information with the latest the research team could find. Management contacts are either as publicised by the operators or have been referenced within trade media during September 2010 to January 2011. All data, including subscriber data is provided on a where possible basis and is provided to assist in building a profile of each MNO.
Sample pages within the brochure provide an accurate and fair demonstration of the level of data presented.
MNO LISTINGS:
> The MNO Directory 2011 consists of 816 MNO profiles. Profiles contain company contact information, ownership and network technology information, subscriber data and management contacts. It is not always possible to provide 100% complete profiles, please view the samples included with this profile to see what a typical profile contains.
> Contact info - Main telephone number(s), fax number, address and brand URL. Where a main telephone number is not available and the company has not offered one, we have listed a customer service number or similar rather than no number. In some instances this is in fact a main number too.
> Ownership - Name of parent company and URL.
> Network tech - GSM/CDMA/iDEN, GPRS, EDGE, 3G and included new for 2011, 4G (LTE and WiMAX). The directory contains a lot of network technology information including HSDPA, HSUPD and HSPA+. Please note the directory does not provide a definitive listing of all active operators for each technology, the directory does not aim to list networks in trial status phases.
> Management - Over 3,300 contacts across 816 MNO profiles.
MANAGEMENT CONTACTS
The MNO Directory 2011 contains over 3,300 named management contacts. These people are selected from the MNOs’ senior management teams and feature job titles such as President, CEO (Chief Executive Officer), CFO (Chief Financial Officer), CTO (Chief Technology Officer), CCO (Chief Commercial Officer) CMO (Chief Marketing Officer), Executive and Senior Vice Presidents plus other senior positions. It is not feasible to provide direct email or telephone numbers for these people so you will not find these within the directory; to get such information would require the individuals to volunteer their correct contact information for 3rd party marketing, which is something a senior executive will not do. (Be wary of any directory claiming to have this data as direct lines change too often to track and a large proportion of senior managers do not use standard format e-mail addresses, making these impossible to guess.)
734 profiles have at least 1 contact listed. We have not listed the same person twice, even though they may manage multiple MNOs across different countries, such as the C&W and Digicel operations. The majority of profiles with no named contact are based within small island nations, are very small players or are managed by a larger operator elsewhere, such as China Mobile Hong Kong, where readers should refer to China Mobile in China.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT E-MAIL ADDRESSES
Why do marketers and salespeople want e-mail addresses? They would like to send bulk e-mails to multiple prospects. Unless specific, express permission has been obtained from the recipient, this process is classified as 'spam' in many parts of the world. It can even be illegal, but in many cases it will result in the sender's e-mail being quickly and promptly blacklisted. The MNO Directory lists many named 'C' level executives. Whilst they accept that as senior people they can - and will - be targeted by marketers, they understandably do not wish to receive even more unsolicited e-mail. So sadly we are unable to include this information in the directory. However, the MNO Directory does contain sufficient information to allow a targeted telesales campaign to the senior management tier, in which the e-mail address can be legitimately sought.
