Because of Verizon Wireless’ recent boneheaded move, I feel it’s time to turn either Sprint or T-Mobile into a wholesale carrier. This would make their MVNO business into their primary revenue maker and enable likes of Google, Microsoft, and anyone else brave enough to develop a phone platform to deliver a great product without being second guessed or blocked by the wireless service provider. The carrier can still keep their consumer facing business, or it might just sell it to another company that sees value in the brand. Savings from running advertising could be plowed back into captial improvements (note: need to check this out more). Running Wholesale would possibly make it easier to get additional investment from partners using the network.
Now I know that the possibility of this happening are both ‘slim’ and ‘none’, but the current chess game that the US carriers are playing is due for a huge rock to hit the board.
