    It’s going to be a cheap low-priority MVNO with deceptive wording to make it sound like its own independent network. Absolutely zero chance it’ll be competitive in any way.

      Came to say this - either its going to use existing infrastructure owned by those companies, or it’s going to completely suck. In neither case that’s competition

        Oh it’s 100% gonna be an MVNO, it’s expensive as fuck to roll out new infrastructure, and something like that certainly wouldn’t go unnoticed anyway.

        It’s just gonna be the worst shit-tier kind of MVNO. Like Cricket back in the 2000s. Service = maybe.

        True. Then it’ll get absorbed by one of the bigger MVNOs, or one of the main networks’ prepaid services, and become a cheap subsidiary or just get dissolved completely. But by that point they’ll already be onto the next grift.
