Reach Mobile CEO Harjot Saluja told Mobile World Live his company had a consumer-based arrangement with T-Mobile for some time, but the wholesale-as-a-service agreement brought the company's new turnkey platform into play. https://www.mobileworldlive.com/featured-content/top-three/t-mobile-reach-mobile-extend-wholesale-agreement -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

As a result, Dish will pay lower rates to T-Mobile for the use of T-Mobile's network, with these reduced rates applied retroactively to January 22, 2022. And Dish has agreed to a minimum purchase commitment to T-Mobile of $3.3 billion over the course of the MNSA. The MNSA was first entered on July 1, 2020 with a seven-year term, so there are five years remaining on the agreement. The parties had been involved in a year-long dispute about Dish's use of T-Mobile's CDMA spectrum. This spectrum was especially important to Dish's prepaid wireless service Boost Mobile. https://www.fiercewireless.com/5g/dish-t-mobile-agree-new-terms-master-network-agreement -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)

But a new lawsuit filed in Washington takes aim at one of T-Mobile's first steps along that path: Shuttering Sprint's legacy 5G network. As reported by FierceWireless, just weeks after T-Mobile closed its acquisition of Sprint in 2020, it began deactivating the Sprint 5G network that covered parts of 13 US cities. Sprint had begun building that network in 2019, after T-Mobile announced its plans to purchase the company but before that transaction officially closed. https://www.lightreading.com/5g/t-mobile-facing-lawsuit-over-shuttering-sprints-legacy-5g-network/d/d-id/778452 -- (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)
