> Dish/Boost
Boost is an MVNO. Look at the T-Mobile map and you are effectively looking at Boost’s map. It’s the same reason Cricket (AT&T), GoogleFi (T-Mobile/US Cellular), Metro/Mint (T-Mobile), Republic (T-Mobile), Spectrum (Verizon), Visible (Verizon), Xfinity (Verizon), etc aren’t listed.
> Neither is Sprint
Sprint is effectively T-Mobile now. Yes, they haven’t fully merged in all areas, but breaking Sprint only out wouldn’t be very useful for very long.
- ece 5y agoThe point I was trying to make is Dish has spectrum, MVNOs do not. Dish has artificially increased the cost of spectrum by holding on to it and not building their own network, and in the process also increased the cost of building a network for others.
