No mention of MVNO's.

The article also mentions a new wireless carrier.
New wireless carrier CSpire, anyone hear of them. They require 2 year contracts and are in limited areas.

I noticed that C Spire is actively soliciting cell site properties they can lease.

[atem2144]

I would never sign another contract, just interested to see if anyone has heard of them and if they own their network or are they an MVNO.

They are not new by any means. They are just using a new name... why wouldn't you trust them? At least anymore than any other carrier?

Did any of you even search google?

Also to add - that is a terrible article. It doesn't point out Cricket or Virgin, both of whom carry the iPhone too now. I would say Virgin's plan is the cheapest by far and away - $35 a month and I know they were giving $5 off with auto pay or something.

The information is dated. C Spire has had the iPhone since November of 2011. There has been no AT&T Mobility 200 megabyte data plan offered since January of this year.

It doesn't list any MVNOs, just physical network owners.

This is great news. The less they advertise MVNOs the better for us. Walmart is spillin the beans enough.

have to disagree, the more that move to mvno, the big 3 will be forced to realize about price pressure and decrease the bloated subsidies and then the plans will start to make some sense.
cellular plan prices have got very little to do with costs, they are all about what they think the market can afford to pay. In europe MVNO's have become quite big players and this has forced the traditional networks to match the mvno plans, i.e., they are now competing on price and cs. There will still be a big market needing subsidized phones, it is just that in the US, the MVNO market is just one big player(tracfone/AM) and multiple very small players, and the MVNO's are literally in the caves, with very little mainstream exposure except for TMo.
