I haven't kept up with the industry (5G roadmap / company health), but yeah - it's worth remembering the AT&T/T-mobile of 2011 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_purchase_of_T-Mobile_USA_by_AT%26T https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_purchase_of_T-Mobile... ) - back then it would've essentially made a monopoly out of GSM cellular usage. And back then cable competition didn't exist yet - xfinity wifi/mobile wasn't around then. My assumption so far is that things are shifting such that LTE/5G are largely replacing CDMA, US govt would still prevent a GSM monopoly situation. Cable companies are competing though - comcast started in 2014 'xfinity wifi' rollout via leased modem then got into mobile in 2017. If I'm reading https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/ https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/ correctly, it's cost-competitive ($45/mo unlimited compared to $70/mo on tmobile) - and works with the iphone myself and many US consumers already have. I'm guessing verizon may already be doing something similar with fios modems.
