What happened
EN+ Telecom (Эн+ Телеком) began commercial MVNO service on 2026-08-24 in the Irkutsk region using T2’s mobile infrastructure; the operator is offering mobile service alongside its existing home internet and TV bundles and allows number porting and online/retail sign-ups. (Regional launch — availability initially limited to the Irkutsk area.)
Why it matters
A regional utility/energy group launching an MVNO and bundling mobile with energy and broadband services signals continued diversification by non-telco incumbents and shows MNOs/MVNEs enabling localised competition via MVNO arrangements. It also highlights the ongoing growth of regionally focused MVNOs leveraging MNO wholesale networks.
