message: Does anybody know the exact nature of the relationship between Amp'd and TELUS in Canada? I've seen it refered to as a "partnership" - does TELUS have an ownership position?
:Telus' marketing issued an FAQ which tried to answer this question. In particular:
3. How is Amp’d Mobile’s U.S. presence different from their Canadian one?
* In the U.S., Amp’d operates as a traditional MVNO.
* In Canada, Amp’d will focus on brand and marketing operations, and providing premium data services and content.
* TELUS will be responsible for most other aspects of the business including pricing, sales and distribution, billing, client care and network operations.
4. What is defined as a traditional MVNO?
* A Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) is a company that does not own a licensed frequency spectrum, but resells wireless services under their own brand name, using the network of another mobile phone carrier. The MVNO assumes control over pricing and the relationship with clients.
5. Is this arrangement considered an MVNO?
* No.
* Customers will have a direct service relationship with TELUS, and will have access to premium Amp’d services and content via TELUS.
* Amp’d Mobile will be responsible for bringing the freshest, hottest and most exclusive entertainment to Canadian subscribers as well as optimized handsets capable of fast download speeds.
* TELUS will manage sales and distribution, billing, client care, network operations and pricing – ensuring that Canadians continue to receive the exceptional consumer experience they’ve come to expect from TELUS.
7. Where will Amp’d products be sold?
* Within Wireless High Speed coverage areas, select TELUS dealers, retail outlets and corporate stores will carry Amp’d Mobile products.
* Amp’d will also create a Canadian Web site to sell products on-line.
8. How will TELUS benefit from this arrangement?
* By offering clients the choice of Amp’d Mobile service, TELUS will be able to capture new clients and additional revenue from tech-savvy, entertainment focused clients in the 18-35 demographic.</i>

message: I was suprised to see so little mention of Amp'd Mobile on the Lil Bush page, and vice versa.  The busines model of Amp'd was to make a profit off of delivering mobile content, the article needs to highlight said content.  Mathiastck 08:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
