Big deal allowing customers to keep their phones and phone number. They
are the customers to keep in the first place. They bought and paid for
the phones and number portability has been required for several years now.

It makes no sense to keep unprofitable customers.

True. But isn't like we don't have a fixed account receivable business
model here. I mean, contract or no contract, you still pay monthly fees. So
every customer is profitable.

Not true. There is a real "opportunity cost" of service, and low
revenue customers can in fact be unprofitable.
