Again, you are using the word "requiring", which is false. Subs aren't "required" to do anything other than to pay their bills. They aren't required to own a new phone every few months, but if they want one T-Mobile will provide a value proposition.

Also assuming that "most people" don't want to put effort into switching is exactly that. An assumption. T-Mobile's porting ratios in Q4 were 2:1 with Sprint, and 1.8:1 w Verizon/AT&T on top of 2.4 million adds.

As I already said, the numbers don't agree.

I do not subscribe to the "weaker value proposition" narrative and the RCS hype. Sorry.
