We could have predicted the demise of Open Mobile in Puerto Rico when they
agreed to "share" their network with Sprint. Today, Open Mobile doesn't actually say they have given up the business, but their stores are now all branded as
Boost Mobile. Since last year's hurricanes, wireless customers in Puerto Rico have suffered from spotty service and the carriers suffered from a reduction to their income stream. Sprint can survive this but Open Mobile can't.
This may have been a decision made before the storms but the result is that the network will work better under a major player. As usual, we hate to see another carrier bite the dust, but if you live on the island, you should be glad the way things turned out..at least for your wireless service.
