In Europe, there is Tele2 doing exactly this. For instance, in The Netherlands, there was a Triopoly of Vodafone, KPN and T-Mobile. It started as a MVO (Mobile Virtual Operator) but later obtained a 4G license and is now building out it's national 4G network. Subscribers are now moved to 4G netowkr as much as possible. Tele2 advertises to business users as a "flat data pipe". To consumers, it profiles itself as a cheap provider offering a lot more data in it's packages. It slowly looks like it started a data-war among the providers. The past year, there has been a lot of movement in the dat package offerings, while in the era of 2005-2015 about the only movement was "Unmetered access for €10" to data-packages. I'm very curious to see Dutch subscriber numbers over the first half of 2016. I expect them to go up slowly but steadily.
