  • MVNX on the opportunities in South Africa’s booming MVNO market

    MVNX on the opportunities in South Africa’s booming MVNO market
    Jul 11 2025
    For years, mobile telecommunications was dominated by a handful of large operators, or MNOs. Now, with almost 30 MVNOs, or mobile virtual network operators, serving niche consumer bases in banking, retail and education, among other sectors, the MVNO market is thriving.
    However, brands looking to take advantage of this boom and add mobile services to their offerings are not guaranteed success. There are several critical decisions regarding strategy, process and choosing the right technology platform that are key to building a critical mass of loyal MVNO customers.
    In this episode of TCS+, Daniel Swart, chief commercial officer at MVNX, an MVNO enablement specialist, discusses the opportunities and threats facing MVNOs in South Africa today.
    Swart Delves into:
    • The services MVNX, as an MVNO enabler, offers to brands looking to launch MVNO services in South Africa;
    • How South Africa’s MVNO market has developed since its inception in 2006 with the entry of now-defunct Virgin Mobile;
    • The markers of success separating successful MVNOs from those that have struggled to gain a foothold in the market;
    • The benefits MVNO brands reap from using an enablement platform to launch and distribute their mobile services;
    • The importance of understanding the competitive dynamics of the MVNO market and how new MVNOs should position themselves;
    • The regulatory aspects of running an MVNO; and
    • International MVNO trends Swart believes are likely to be emulated in South Africa.
    This discussion is not to be missed.

    • How businesses can ensure they are able to keep pace with new technologies so they are not left behind;
    • How South African businesses are using the newest AI tools in Azure to build new products and services;

    First Distribution on data governance in hybrid cloud environments
    Jun 27 2025
    Data is the lifeblood of every organisation, driving innovation, enhancing customer experiences and influencing strategic decisions.
    But managing this invaluable asset has never been more challenging. Hybrid IT environments – where some organisational data sits in the cloud other data resides in on-premises infrastructure – only adds to this complexity.
    In this second episode in a series of three delving into the ins and outs of Azure cloud deployments, Preegan Chetty, Azure product manager at First Distribution, discusses the data governance procedures that ensure organisational data is stored in the most useful, cost-effective and compliant ways.
    The first episode centred on effective cost management techniques for the Azure cloud environment. You can watch that episode here.
    In this episode, Chetty delves into:
    • Why the complexity of data governance increases when organisations migrate from on-premises to hybrid cloud environments;
    • The factors organisations should consider when deciding which data they should keep where;
    • What Dora legislation is and how it affects the hybrid data strategies of South African organisations;
    • Other legislation impacting data governance in South Africa;
    • The tools Azure provides to help data architects structure distributed data in ways that do not have a negative impact on performance;
    • Data governance for disaster recovery; and
    • The impact data governance decisions have on an organisation’s cloud costs.
