I seen ads for cheap cell service like ting or mint using T-Mobile cell towers. How is it financially viable for networks to share the same service but one is selling for significantly cheaper, especially since these cheap services often say that their service is just as good?
In: Technology
They don’t really share. There is a company that owns the towers and they lease towers and capacity to the carriers.
The cost in towers is all about local access rights and property values. The companies that do this spend a lot of money negotiating real estate and getting services to the towers. Carriers just lease from there. Generally speaking carriers don’t own towers and don’t want to be in that business.
