Mobile Network Comparison

We’ve got wind of a brand-new bootstrapped network coming up on the horizon. It’s called Zevvle, it was originally announced back in April and we’re just starting to get a better idea of what it’s all about.

What’s particularly unique about this network is it’s not at all like any of the main players. In fact, it’s not even like any of the other MVNOs. While some of the most notable budget launches include industry-shaking Giffgaff which had a minuscule budget compared to its competitors back in 2009, it still had the backing of industry giant Telefónica’s. In comparison, Zevvle looks set to be an even more shoestring venture being run by just two people to start with.

The last time we saw such an ambitious project was probably Impossible Telecom and we all know how that ended up…. In that instance, Dan Lane at least described himself as and “Idiot, Telecom Specialist” and called the project “Impossible”.

Here it remains to be seen whether the challenge of starting a new network from scratch with minimal experience and funds is as ambitious as that was. However, we wish Nick Goodall and his brother all the best in taking on the industry.

Did you think Impossible Telecom had a chance? And either way, what does that mean for Zevvle? Will you be trying it out? Or do you think it’s destined to fail?
