What happened
Sky Italia transitioned from a reseller to an MVNO (ESP-type) and launched its new Sky Mobile commercial offering on 2026-09-23, making its own SIM/eSIM plans and pricing live (customers able to activate service and order new SIMs/eSIMs from launch). The company moved to manage customer contracts, pricing and bundles directly while continuing to use the Fastweb+Vodafone network for radio access.
Why it matters
A major media/content brand taking full MVNO control signals increased convergence between content platforms and connectivity — operators and MVNEs should expect more bundle-driven MVNOs that prioritise customer ownership and cross‑product ARPU.
