EchoStar reportedly considers a deal with a Verizon MVNO to keep Boost alive
Having Boost Mobile replace Sprint as the nation's fourth-largest carrier was done to prevent consumers from having to pay higher prices for wireless service. Without that fourth major firm offering service, the remaining three can hike their prices without having that fourth competitor come in with lower prices. This is why the FCC demanded that a replacement for Sprint be chosen before it agreed to allow T-Mobile to close on the $26 billion transaction. It was no secret that Dish Network co-founder and current EchoStar Chairman Charles Ergen had long wanted to own a carrier, and the FCC was giving him an opportunity to make his dream come true. So Dish bought Boost, but customers weren't exactly rushing through the front doors. Dish started with the 9.3 million customers it acquired from Boost Mobile. During the first quarter of 2022, for example, Dish reported a net loss of 363,000 customers, leaving it with 8.5 million subscribers. The carrier's firm rate rose to 5,11% from 4.44% year-over-year. Boost has been criticized for being a prepaid carrier pretending to be a postpaid carrier. | Image credit-Unknown On the last day of 2023, EchoStar acquired Dish Network, and things have continued to go south for Boost Mobile, still owned by Dish, which is now an EchoStar subsidiary. As for Q1 2025, Boost Mobile had 7.2 million customers remaining. That means it had lost 22.6% of its customers since opening its doors for business. This past Friday, a report said that Ergen might be looking to start a turnaround for Boost by combining it with MobileX. That's the business run by CEO Peter Adderton, who was one of the founders of Boost Mobile. The latter was successful and was subsequently sold to Nextel in 2003. At the time, Boost was adding 40,000 net new subscribers each month. Two years later, Sprint acquired Nextel which is how Sprint ended up with Boost Mobile before it sold to Dish Networks on July 1, 2020. FCC Commissioner Brandon Carr has been after EchoStar over two issues. One is whether the 5G build-out requirements that the FCC placed on Dish when it acquired Boost were being met by EchoStar, and the other issue is whether EchoStar is using the 2GHz airwaves that it has. It seems that SpaceX wants that spectrum for its satellite to cellphone service because it is superior to the airwaves that it is currently using. EchoStar avoided a bankruptcy filing by making a $500 million interest payment on Debt near the end of June. Could a combination of MobileX and EchoStar help the latter turn around? The former uses AI to determine how much data a subscriber might need and sells it on a pay-as-you-go basis in many Walmart stores. MobileX is an MVNO that uses Verizon's wireless network. Adderton, the MobileX CEO who helped found Boost has criticized the Boost Mobile purchase by Dish. Wave7 Research principal Jeff Moore told Fierce Wireless, "My largest criticism of Boost is the fact it's a prepaid carrier that is pretending to be a postpaid carrier." He believes that Boost needs to build a postpaid presence, seeing that most of its stores are in areas where they serve prepaid customers. Moore says that Boost needs to promote its postpaid service and build more postpaid stores. Their Boost Infinite Access for iPhone and Infinite Access for Galaxy plans cost $65 a month and give you a new iPhone or Galaxy each year. While $65 per month is the cost for the base iPhone and Galaxy phone each year, you can pay more to select one of the pricier models. The plan also comes with talk, text, and data (including 30GB of premium data), global talk and text, and more. And every year, you get a new iPhone or Galaxy handset. If I ran Boost (and you know where to reach me guys!), I would promote the hell out of the Infinite Access plans. Getting a new iPhone or Galaxy smartphone each year should be a powerful incentive for consumers to become Boost customers.

Trump appears to have shown us why the iPhone Fold will struggle
AI-generated iPhone Fold concept. | Image credit — PhoneArena Like him or hate him, President Donald Trump moves fast, unlike Apple. And sometimes, that's all it takes to make you stand out and succeed. While Apple has been taking things painfully slow and has warmed up to the idea of launching a foldable iPhone seven years too late, Trump is moving at warp speed in the tech sector, even though that's not his domain. Tell me that's not impressive. Trump recently announced a phone and even a wireless network. So not only is the guy giving you a phone, but also a network for that phone, though, of course, the device won't be locked to that network. There's even an iPad version of Truth Social, the social media company owned by Trump. Meanwhile, WhatsApp came to the iPad only last month, and Apple still has't convinced Meta to build an Instagram app for the device. Trump is deeply invested in providing the best experience to his followers. | Image Credit - Mark Gurma So, while it remains to be seen if the world emerges better off on the other side of the Trump presidency, one thing is for sure: he is already spicing up the tech sector. I am not sure we have been able to say that for Apple in a long the time when Apple truly tried? Somewhere along the way, it lost its spark, and while many of us can be accused of the same, we aren't at the helm of a trillion-dollar plays it safer than I do when parking a car in a tight spot. And that's no way to do business (or live). The iPhone Fold , or whatever it ends up being called, isn't expected to have any innovative features. Yes, it might be creaseless, but that's not really an issue with most foldables now. The only exciting thing about the foldable iPhone would be that it folds. And while that may be enough for iOS users, some of whom are so deep in the Apple ecosystem that the idea of venturing outside is unfathomable, it won't be enough for platform-neutral your only strength is that your users are so loyal (or dependent) that they can't consider alternatives, it's not something to be proud of. It's more like your users have Stockholm syndrome because of can flip in seconds, as has appeared to have happened with a certain car company in the US. A render of the T1. | Image Credit - Trump Mobile Before I proceed, please know that this isn't a political post. I am just highlighting what one influential man can learn from another powerful person. Please don't cancel me. Trump isn't afraid to go all in, even if the likely outcome is failure. The T1 Phone stands no chance against the best phones of today, but it still exists (somewhere in China for now). Cook, on the other hand, has adopted a laid-back approach of late. And it's not helping. Unlike the Apple Vision Pro, which had the odds stacked against it due to the category still finding its footing, the foldable iPhone has a better chance of succeeding and even converting Android die-hards. The iPhone Fold needs to be recklessly good and make the case for foldables. Because, frankly speaking, I am struggling to see why they matter at the moment. There's nothing that my conventional phone can't do that a foldable phone does. A phone that unfolds into a tablet would be nice to have for when I am reading or watching a recipe video, but that's about it. Yes, you can set it up like a laptop, but that's nothing more than a party trick. Given what we know already, the iPhone Fold is barely another foldable phone waiting to be released. What Apple needs is a phone that will shake the industry to its core and will always be on our minds. Like Trump.

AT&T has the last laugh as T-Mobile and Verizon are left embarassed
T-Mobile and Verizon spent the last month arguing over who was the best, while AT&T maintained a respectful distance from the debate. It looks like the carrier wanted a neutral party to settle the matter. According to mobile analytics firm RootMetrics, AT&T was the top performer in the first half of 2025. In June, T-Mobile said that tests conducted by Ookla between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 revealed that it had the best network. This was disputed by Verizon , which claimed that it still had the most reliable 5G network according to RootMetrics, which it trusted more. Well, RootMetrics just published its national RootScore report for the first half of 2025, and according to it, neither T-Mobile nor Verizon came out on top. The company conducted more than 3 million tests to measure the real-world performance of the three largest mobile carriers in the US. AT&T was rated the best for overall performance in H1 2025 by RootMetrics. | Image Credit - Rootmetric Instead, AT&T topped most metrics and was rated 97.7 out of 100 for best overall performance, with Verizon on almost equal footing with a score of 97.5. T-Mobile was third with a score of 95.9. AT&T 's network was found to be the most reliable, and it also offered the fastest speed. Call performance was also the best on AT&T , but the company tied with Verizon on data and text performance. Verizon had the most responsive network and was also rated the best for video performance. As for 5G-only results, the company won best 5G, fastest 5G, and most reliable 5G. Interestingly, T-Mobile wasn't the best in any RootScore Awards category, which takes into account the overall performance, though it must be noted it scored well across all metrics and was within striking distance of the other two. Also, RootMetrics found that T-Mobile delivered the highest 5G availability and the fastest 5G speeds in major cities. It was also the only company to register median download speeds of at least 100 Mbps in all 125 markets tested. Overall vs 5G-only result. Image Credit -RootMetrics In any case, AT&T topped overall rankings and is the company of the moment. This has only further complicated the debate about which network is the best. Opensignal crowned T-Mobile as the winner earlier this month. All these companies use different methodologies, which is why results vary. The takeaway here is that AT&T , T-Mobile , and Verizon are all fiercely competitive and provide a comparable level of service. For an average user, it will make sense to go for a network that has the best service in their area instead of using reports like these to make their decision.
