    For this specific example, the smaller “other” carriers could take this moment to differentiate themselves with a some pretty advertising saying they do not do this, and a TOD that backs it up.

      I mean they’re just resellers of the big guys’ network. I think Mint is a reseller of T-Mobile. Verizon has its own branded reseller labels. It all goes through the big guys’ network anyways so could they even claim that?
