Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing broadband communication services. The method comprises establishing a first entity which provides broadband wireless access to a network; and providing the broadband wireless access to a second entity on a white label basis through said first entity. The second entity distributes wireless mobile communications devices to third parties, and the wireless mobile communications devices are configured to establish broadband wireless access to the network through the broadband wireless access provided by the first entity to the second entity and under a private label applied by the second entity to the network access.

Abstract: A network access device is provided which includes a connector, a tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium, and a computer program stored in the medium. The connector is adapted to releasably engage a port in a mobile communications device, thereby bringing the network access device into electrical communication with the mobile communications device. The computer program contains suitable programming instructions which, when executed, provide the mobile communications device with broadband access to a network through an MVNO or MNO, subject to a predefined set of restrictions defined by a tenant of the MVNO.
