Under the terms of the 10-year deal, AT&T will provide voice, data, messaging services to customers of Dish-owned mobile virtual network operators Boost Mobile, Ting and Republic Wireless.MVNOs do not own networks but rent capacity from established operators to sell services to their customers. Dish's retail wireless customers throughout the United States will also get access to voice and data roaming services on AT&T's network, the company said.
