The case describes Virgin’s entry into the Australian mobile communications market. The short term objective is to reach breakeven, and the long term objective to create a “community of one million profitable customers.” Decisions need to be made about which segments to target, how to build a loyal customer base, what new services to introduce and how to tackle distribution.
