To respond to the landing in Italy of Free Mobile Telecom has created a new mobile operator with low-cost tariff plans, renewable every 30 days
After the arrival of the French Iliad and the tariffs presented by Rabona Mobile in Italy, competition between virtual operators operating in the field of low-cost mobile telephony has flared up. TIM has been one of the first companies to invest in the low cost telephony sector with Kena Mobile.
The landing of the low cost mobile operator of Telecom house has been announced as a real attack on the market. And to underline the desire to rout an increasingly numerous competition were the same words released by CEO Flavio Cattaneo at the time of the launch of Kena Mobile a year ago: “After having had the monopoly of telephony for years, now we want to move from defense to counterattack. It is no coincidence that the operator’s name derives from the legendary Polynesian warrior of the same name. It should be remembered that the offers of Kena Mobile are available only in prepaid mode and only with 3G support.
What is Kena Mobile
As mentioned Kena Mobile is a virtual operator of Italian mobile telephony group TIM. When we talk about virtual operator is good to remember that it means a company that provides mobile phone services without owning any license for the radio spectrum nor necessarily have all the necessary infrastructure to provide such services. Kena Mobile was launched on the market in March 2017 and as of March 2018 records 300 thousand active users throughout the Italian territory.
