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

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

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.

Won’t stop the red hats from buying it out of loyalty to the Emperor.

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.
