Surprised there's no mention of Boost Mobile's bullshit venture with DraftKings.

They even have everything down to suggesting they could use SMS marketing to make microbets during events, and putting cash on your books at a brick and mortar Boost Mobile dealer. Who else is up for putting money on their books at their prepaid wireless dealer?

What makes this worse is Boost Mobile's statements to the press when T-Mobile announced the shutdown of the CDMA network:
https://www.fiercewireless.com/operators/t-mobile-s-cdma-shutdown-already-harms-consumers-says-coalition https://www.fiercewireless.com/operators/t-mobile-s-cdma-shu...
“The bottom line is this: T-Mobile’s anticompetitive Grinch-like decision to accelerate the shutdown of its CDMA network will likely harm millions of Boost customers that depend on access to this network for wireless connectivity, disproportionately impacting low-income consumers who over-index in communities of color.”
Dish and Boost Mobile KNOWS their client base and still thinks partnering with DraftKings is a great idea, especially when they weren't helping their "low-income consumers" easily upgrade to a new LTE phone during the network shutdown - instead, spending even more millions to partner with AT&T for roaming/coverage?
- arolihas 4y agoWhat do you mean? Boost Mobile loves their base and wants to help them as much as possible! Sometimes you're in a tight spot between rent and food and all you need now is a couple parlays to hit to be living large. I can't wait for them to start offering payday loans to really help people out and let them make income on leverage! Wouldn't that just be swell.
