Entertainment media company Southern Cross Austereo has strategically invested $5 million in media-MVNO OVO Mobile and its "rapidly expanding" OVOPlay streaming media platform, as OVO has renewed an exclusive five-year Optus mobile deal.

High-speed Internet service provider MyRepublic is celebrating its first year of business in Australia, and celebrating many milestones "including consistently ranking number 1 on Steam for average download rates".

Boldly promising its "new mobile plans provide best value in market" with "big data for little dollars", value MVNO pioneer Amaysim is upping the ante by upping the data.

MVNOs have been successful on price, value and growth, but even as major telcos fight back with contracts to buy iPhone X, Note 8 and others, the threat of TPG's upcoming new network means continued growth will need true innovation and value, and not price alone.

Optus-powered MVNO OVO, which famously offers 100GB for $69.95 per 30 days, as well as great unlimited voice and text plans with data allocations, now has national 7-Eleven distribution.

Although Exetel is the first Optus Wholesale customer to offer the "Home Wireless Broadband" router, the company clearly expects more of its MVNOs to offer such a service.

Clever countermover Kogan is always outmanoeuvering competitors, with his latest cunning stunt a countenancing face-off that makes Kogan's 16GB-laden and best unlimited mobile plan free, for 30 days - but only for 96 hours.

Like Kogan Mobile and Vaya, ALDIMobile has revamped some of its data offerings, while introducing a new Jumbo plan from 13 September with 16GB of data for $55.

Vaya has followed Kogan Mobile’s recent move to increase data inclusions on all mobile plans, but who offers better value?

Wholesale telecommunications provider, Symbio Networks — part of the MNF Group — has launched a sub-wholesale mobile virtual network operator offer.

TPG Mobile is running yet another of its special deals for its TPG Mobile service, but it’s only available if you’ve never been a TPG Mobile customer.

While I see other telcos offer new customers a half-price SIM card deal in stores, Vaya is going the other way and doubling your first month data.

Competition is smoking hot in the pre-paid mobile telco space, with unlimited talk, text and generous data pioneer Amaysim unveiling new plans with up to 14GB of data.

Earlier this week, Vaya announced its SIM cards would be at retail for the first time, with a six-month deal for $150, but Kogan can demonstrate better value.

Whether you need a lot of data with unlimited talk and text to national numbers, or 4GB data at almost half the price you once paid, Vaya’s value just got higher.

Vaya bills itself as the best-value mobile service provider, and it has just struck back against the latest mobile offerings by re-introducing two of its most popular past promotions.

You have to be a new customer to Kogan Mobile, and the deal is just for 30 days, but it’s a clever stunt to tempt switchers to taste test Kogan Mobile.

Telstra’s not the only telco streaming sports data-free to customers, with OVO Mobile signing super bikes and gymnastics to its sports roster.

VoIP and cloud telecommunications services provider MNF Group has inked a virtual mobile network deal with Telstra Wholesale to begin offering mobile services across 3G and 4G networks on its Symbio platform.

Vodafone is acquiring the Australian mobile business of Lebara, including 130,000 of the Mobile Virtual Network Operator’s customers.
