As a paid subscriber of one of the newsletters mentioned in the article, I suspect another aspect not mentioned in the article is a growing base of subscribers requesting to move. I sent such feedback myself and regularly saw requests in comments from folks not wanting to give Substack money.

I switched to US Mobile over a year ago. $15/mth. Technically it’s lower tier data speeds but I don’t notice a difference. There’s a $15 international package I buy when needed. I won’t be going back to postpaid.
