Dish is currently operating Boost as an MVNO, with subscribers riding on T-Mobile’s network while the satellite TV provider works to build out its own 5G network. Dish purchased prepaid Boost Mobile for $1.4 billion as part of agreements related to approval of the T-Mobile/Sprint merger, and started offering service last July.The Wireless industry is an ever-changing world where big ideas come along daily.

In its 10-K filing, Dish said it`s working to make sure the subscribers it acquires and retains are profitable under MVNO economics, but those are different than for a facilities-based network operator and hurt net retail wireless customer additions. For example, customers that are high data users “may be profitable for an MNO, but are not profitable under an MVNO,” wrote Dish. To that point, in October, Dish introduced a new $10 Boost Mobile plan targeting subscribers that don`t use a lot of data. MoffettNathanson analysts noted that there are few year-over-year comparisons for Boost Mobile metrics, but that Dish looks focused on generating cash short-term by cutting costs and pulling back on subscriber acquisition while taking hits to its subscriber base – the same approach for its pay TV business.“These required measures would cause a significant disruption to our Retail Wireless subscriber base which could result in, among other things, a significant increase in our churn rate,” Dish stated in the filing. “Additionally, we would expect to incur substantial costs to implement these measures, and we may be unable to effectively implement them, such as the procurement of an adequate number of replacement devices in a timely fashion. As a result, there can be no assurance that these measures would be successful in reducing or controlling subscriber churn.” -- ???????? | |||
