Sprint was ahead in the MNVO market well before VZ and ATT started to get into it. Well before the customer losses.

What does VZW have to deal with TWC and Sprint? Also TWC and Comcast both took over Adelphia. TWC couldn't take the entire thing with the debt that was included. That's how TWC got some Comcast markets and Comcast got TWC.

Sprint may not be a Telco anymore but they have a HUGE IP Backbone and know how to build a network from the ground up. They also are one of the most used carriers by the MVNOs.
The only reason why Sprint wholesales cell service so aggressively that MVNOs grow like bacteria is since Sprint has been loosing customers for years, and MVNOs make the losses less than they would have been otherwise. Also Sprint wholesales cell service by blocks of minutes, ATT/Verizon wholesale cell service with minimum monthly fee per phone number to keep ARPU high (meaning ATT/Verizon MVNO plans have aggressive minute expiration). TM basically doesn't MVNO so financial details are unknown for TM MVNOs.

Sprint's IP backbone seems to be moribund. Other than govt contracts, I dont know of any other ISPs or major customers of Sprint IP. Level 3 and ATT (ex-clec) and Verizon business seem to be the most common names in the USA from my personal experience of corporate business internet connections, universities, and non-peering ISPs (until TWC bought Adelphia was and VZW still is, Level 3 only).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-TMobile-23885087 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 04:07:46 EDT Re: T-Mobile? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-TMobile-23884623 said by tmc8080:

Seems like TMo and CV would be a god fit on this. T-Mobile just has to resurrect their UMA handsets and all systems would be good to go for the service.

I wouldn't be srprised if CV offered "Optimum Mobile" service with unlimited voice minutes on WiFi and 500 minutes (plus unlimited nights and weekends, naturally) for $30-$40 per month.
I was thinking AT&T.. but whatever.. it's still cdma either one-- I'd like to be able to get onto a network such as tracfone so you dont' have to get robbed for cell service pricing and be locked into a contract. Tracfone & wifi would be a killer handset!

Also, did I read that right... $100 per subscriber.. and they surcharge you $300 for early adopting docsis 3.0?

Hah! Evidence of a ripoff, much?
tracfone doesnt have it's own network.

Ah that's right, businesses keep UMA, regular plans don't anymore.
I think you are confusing two services offered by Tmo. They offer UMA on many phones, for all plan types (business and regular). The service they discontinued (for new users) was Tmobile @ Home, which was different. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-TMobile-23883577 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 20:28:54 EDT Re: T-Mobile? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-TMobile-23883334
The "not a telco" thing here is a pro rather than a con; Cablevision likely doesn't want to work with a telco...they're competing against one.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-TMobile-23883334 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:41:09 EDT Re: T-Mobile? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-TMobile-23883008 --

Tmobile offers the newest Blackberry (Bold 9700) with UMA.
