Building South Africa's new mobile network | Calvin Collett | Melon Mobile
Disrupting the telco industry. The word disrupt definitely has lost appeal in recent years, but when an industry is laying dormant, with no new players or innovations, is this not a sign to shake things up. Meet Melon Mobile, South Africa's new mobile provider that allows you to customise your package according to your specific needs.
Founder and CEO, Calvin joined us to discuss how they are building South Africa's new Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO). We discussed plenty from explaining the Telco industry to getting funding and pulling off a massive billboard campaign around the country.
