T-Mobile is planning to launch the service through Layer3 — a company that T-Mobile acquired in 2018. Layer3 provides users with free basic television and on-demand services. It will reportedly run on licensed Xumo streaming technology. Think of it as akin to AT&T’s Watch TV service, and Verizon’s Go90, which ended last year. The idea is to give customers the ability to stream over-the-top television and monetize that usage with advertisements.
