The issue is: Whenever you do a buy like this, all the customers of the service get to jump ship if they want to.
So you don't necessarily get the network contracts by buying them.
- wtracy 15y agoDepends on what contracts they've signed, what their termination clauses are, and when they expire. Most likely, the networks do have contracts such that they can jump ship at will.
