This is not correct. As of Q3 2023 T-Mobile is number two by subscriber count:

* Verizon Wireless: 143.3 million (Q2 2023)

* T-Mobile US: 116.7 million (Q2 2023)

* AT&T Mobility: 105.2M million (Q2 2023)

By stock market cap:

* TMUS: $170.51B

* VZ: $150.84B

* T: $113.22B

(of course, VZ and T both have significant businesses outside of wireless so this isn't a super great comparison)

Hard to argue that you should break up either of Verizon or AT&T and not T-Mobile by literally any metric, unless you think wireless companies shouldn't also have terrestrial networks
