Organization to start boycott of T-Mobile on September 10th, but not for the reasons you might think

What is the boycott a protest of?

When I first heard about this organized boycott against T-Mobile, I figured that the protest was being arranged as a way to let T-Mobile know that its customers and reps do not like having to use the T-Life app to place orders for devices, add new lines, buy accessories, and more. But it appears that the goal to get at least 10,000 T-Mobile subscribers to drop the carrier by November 1st is being done to “send a message to all of corporate America that there are costs to supporting the Trump Administration.”

Additionally, the website states that “T-Mobile lobbied in favor of Trump’s disastrous budget bill that will strip millions of Americans of healthcare and basic social services, while cutting the taxes of the 1%.” Another complaint notes that T-Mobile started a partnership in July with Elon Musk’s Starlink. The latter powers T-Satellite, the carrier’s satellite service that provides wireless connectivity in areas where there is no cellular service. The website says that T-Mobile is “funneling billions into the pockets of the world’s most famous and destructive far-right billionaire.”

What is the ultimate point of this boycott of T-Mobile?

Does this boycott of T-Mobile make any sense?

If this boycott was being arranged to protest T-Mobile‘s apparent transition into a digital carrier, I can understand it. That is a situation that T-Mobile can do something about. But when it comes to protesting the policies of the President of the United States, it isn’t clear what getting 10,000 subscribers to cancel their T-Mobile accounts will do. During the last four quarters, the carrier has generated anywhere from 495,000 to 903,000 new net postpaid phone subscribers. There is also no way that T-Mobile backs out of its deal with Elon Musk’s Starlink because of a little protest.

You might see protesters outside T-Mobile stores trying to collect signatures for the campaign. However, it would seem that the website lists no upcoming events to be held near any T-Mobile stores.
