Virgin Mobile interested in entering Turkey

Virgin Mobile is reportedly in talks to secure an agreement to launch MVNO services in Turkey.

Citing sources, Reuters said the company wants to enter the fast growing market and was talking to various parties. In addition to the local market, there is a sizeable ex-pat customer base across Europe where Virgin Mobile already has operations.

Virgin Group has confirmed that it is in preliminary talks with several Turkish mobile networks, but did not comment further. The regulator confirmed that the company has not filed an application yet for an MVNO licence in the country.
