Connor welcomes Samer Bishay, founder of Karrier One, who recently acquired Cellular Spectrum in Canada. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Karrier One, allowing them to transition from a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) to a mobile network operator (MNO). This change not only gives them a seat at the table among major players in the telecom industry but also enhances their ability to communicate and collaborate with other MNOs.
They discussed the importance of owning spectrum and how Karrier One plans to leverage this acquisition to address infrastructure challenges, particularly in rural and remote areas. The conversation also touched on the various approaches to building cellular networks, including CBRS and Wi-Fi offload, and how Karrier One's spectrum-agnostic strategy empowers spectrum holders to monetize their assets.
Additionally, they explored Karrier One's inclusive approach to partnerships, emphasizing the importance of cultivating a community of deployers and contributors. Samer highlighted the excitement surrounding the potential of their technology, likening it to the early days of the internet.
Overall, this episode provided valuable insights into the evolving landscape of the telecom industry and Karrier One's innovative strategies to enhance connectivity for underserved populations.
