I'd say this would dovetail nicely with the Republic acquisition. Nothing like buying the tech to allow customers to easily roam across multiple carriers and then buy a bunch of smaller carriers to meet your coverage commitments.

TDS Telecom is our local phone company, and the phone company for Beaver Island, MI, where I've owned a bunch of property over the years.

Sounds like they don't want the wireline service, so that will probably be sold or spun off, assuming they manage to make the acquisition.

I have Ooma anyway. I dumped TDS Telecom 6 years ago. Why pay $35 plus a month, for a POTS line. I get Ooma for less than $5 a month, and that's mostly taxes and FCC fees.

It's on. I looked around and saw that Republic Wireless by DISH is being advertised on Channel 800. I went to the website and looked around. Clicked on a few features and pricing. Also checked to see that 4G is available and 5G hits an area next door, just like Verizon. Who provides the service ?? Now if they would provide Home Internet via cellular service, I'd jump on that.

So $40 a month for 20 GB for Dish subs. The thing that bites is it appears to only allow roaming data (2 GB) in Mexico, not Canada?

Isn't there a dish network affiliate in Mexico? I know they don't operate in Canada
