The way it was meant to work was that Boost could keep running on T-Mobile’s network for the next few years while Dish worked to build its own network. That way (ideally), competition would be at least partially preserved. T-Mobile is hoping for the latter: It recently began offering a $25-a-month unlimited data plan that targets Boost and AT&T’s Cricket prepaid users. “If Cricket or Boost won’t upgrade their customers with free 5G devices, Metro by T-Mobile sure will,” the announcement read. Lower prices are a good thing, but Boost was barely out the door before T-Mobile started firing arrows at it.
