I have no idea what the economics are but I imagine the carriers they're piggybacking off of could charge higher fees for MVNOing if Fi were to get to a certain scale.



Depending on the contracts they have I guess anything's possible, but MVNOs aren't a new thing and they don't typically get kicked off a network for being successful.


Compared the the standard MVNO, they're less exposed because their system uses WiFi whenever possible. How much less that exposure is I have no idea.

Disclaimer: I'm a Project Fi subscriber for the last half year or so.
