Paris - According to a report in French newspaper Les Echos, Disney is planning to become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in France. Quoting unnamed sources familiar with the situation, Les Echos said Disney intended to sell prepaid cards aimed at younger mobile users. The Sunday Times recently wrote a similar report claiming that Disney was planning to become an MVNO in the U.K. as well. Earlier this year, Disney struck a deal with Sprint to launch an MVNO in the U.S. next year, while another MVNO using Disney's ESPN sports channel is scheduled for launch in the U.S. on Feb. 5.
