MVNO Prediction

Yahoo (and Google) are on a collision course with the wireless operators for ownership of data services on mobile phones. I predict that friction between wireless operators and Yahoo will cause Yahoo to create an MVNO within five years (by 2010).

Yahoo has a lot of information that ought to be seamlessly available on my phone (contacts, phone numbers, locations, recent searches, etc.) Unless the built-in applications on the phone become much more open, Yahoo will need better control over the handset environment to provide the user experience they desire.

What do you think?
