Amp’d Mobile launches in US
Amp’d Mobile, a so-called Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), has launched as of 15 December 2005.
As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), Amp’d is completely focused on its service offerings, leaving the network operations to its partners. The service will target younger customers and run on Verizon Wireless’ EV-DO network, now available in most major metropolitan areas and covering roughly half the country’s population.
