Cable MVNOs Encounter Persistent Growth in 3Q23 Subscribers and Revenue as Boost Mobile Struggles with Continued Losses

This IDC Market Perspective examines the 3Q23 earnings from the three U.S. cable companies that offer mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) services and from DISH Network's Boost Mobile MVNO business that were released from October 27 to November 6, 2023. This document also analyzes MVNOs' operating metrics and overall strategies in the context of the U.S. communications landscape."The key strategy for major cable MVNOs remains the integration of bundled in-home and mobile broadband services, aimed at providing cost-saving benefits to consumers who subscribe to both services," says Pahul Preet Singh, senior research analyst, Mobile and IoT Communication Services at IDC. "The MVNO market is poised for expansion with increased competition from new entrants, driven by a persistent emphasis on competitive pricing. This competition is expected to result in a broader array of choices and more affordable plans for consumers."
