They want the extra add-on revenue from Redbox.
Not overage charges.
As for margins, if they were "massive", or enjoyed "record profits", as the envious bankrupt socialist media likes to refer to, then another "greedy" firm would enter the market in pursuit of those dollars. We've seen how well Sprint and TMobile have fared. |

Tulsa, OK | Ever heard of barriers to entry?
The biggest problem with the Laissez-faire market theory is that it always assumes that at any time anyone can enter business and increase the supply of choices and competition. Since that isn't true, the rest of it also fails.

Sprint-Nextel-Clear, TMobile, MetroPCS, Leap, Cricket, and to some extent, America Movil prove that those "barriers" are surmountable. |

Tulsa, OK | Actually, they are proving that the barriers aren't surmountable.
Thus why so many MVNO's. |

The existence of MVNO's only further prove that the barriers are surmountable. |
