 A Mobile Virtual Network Operator or MVNO is a mobile operator that doesn't have its own wireless network infrastructure, it relies on another carrier's radio network infrastructure.  There are various types of MVNOs ranging from a full MVNO which operate everything except the radio network.  This includes operating the core network, applications & services, billing, customer care as well as sales & marketing.  At the other end of the spectrum are branded resellers which only does sales and marketing.  There are variations in between.
