Using Amp'd Mobile?

Hmm, a subscriber base of 175,000; a debt of $100M; a CEO that says the company is growing too fast (??)...

They have no network to maintain, their revenue per subscriber is supposedly much higher compared to the industry average (about $100/mo).

Chapter 11 usually means "down, not out", but wow, they sure racked up a lot of debt for only a year and change being in business. Anyway, your service will likely not be interrupted.

Maybe MTV and Universal should maintain their investments in tangible entertainment industries... :P
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Maybe if they learned how to spell, their finance d'vizn wouldn't make any mistakes.:P

If you're "Amp'd", then you're now officially "Fk'd"

The close down of MVNOs is not uncommon at all. Most are losing propositions, as they are reselling services that are already very affordable. It's hard to compete.

Who would be next? No one that I can think of, Helio is actually run and invested in from real telecom companies.

However, if you're in the US, and your provider isn't one of the big-four (VZW, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint), smaller four (ALLTEL, CellOne, US Cellular, Cricket), or mini-regional carriers, etc., chances are it's hemorrhaging cash. So, if you find yourself screaming into your phone, "Can you hear me now??" ...it's possible they can't. :P
