This document discusses the transition of a large living lab called i-City in Flanders into a spin-off MVNO business. It summarizes that i-City started as a wireless city project with over 500 hotspots and 2000 test users. Some of the alfa community members who received support went on to work for the founding companies. The spin-off took the community-focused approach of i-City and applies it to their MVNO business, which has grown to over 120,000 users through testing with focus groups and an open API. The plans are to expand the business model to other European countries using the same approach of building, testing, and rebuilding with community input.
