Boost Mobile has stepped out of the shadow of the big carriers and officially upgraded from an MVNO to a full carrier, with its 5G network now covering a large chunk of the U.S.

Currently, T-Mobile is passing regulatory scrutiny over the $4.4 billion purchase of US Cellular’s stores, customers, and cellular network. The carrier, however, kept nearly 70% of its spectrum holdings and is now selling them to the highest bidder.

Boost Mobiles continued investment in its network makes it clear that the carrier intends to drop its previous identity as a value-focused MVNO. Boost Mobiles 5G network now covers 70% of the population with its cloud-native O-RAN 5G network. Coverage improves to around 99% of the US population when you include its partner coverage.

U Mobile says it is confident that it will deliver a rapid and cost-efficient second 5G network for Malaysians. It says competition will drive innovation.
