The Engadget Interview: Sky Dayton, Helio CEO

Engadget has an interview with Sky Dayton, CEO of youth-targeted MVNO Helio. He avoids going into specifics, but his answers are all consistent “we’re going to offer mobile-specific stuff” responses…eg: “So we really – and this is important to understand Helio — we look at how people use mobile and then we use technology to enable them to do something. It just so happens that we have a technological foundation that is a strategic advantage for us, in terms of both handsets and in terms of back-end systems. The Cyworld platform, for example, is what we’re using to power MySpace on Helio.”
It’s a good insight into one of the many MVNOs due in the market this year, and one that’s got a better than average chance of seeing some success.
