Back in 2015, we said T-Mobile was basically becoming a cable company as it sought to turn its wireless data customers into bigger consumers of mobile video, exempting preselected services such as Spotify and Netflix from user data caps.

Now T-Mobile is literally becoming a cable company. On Wednesday, it said that it's buying Layer3, a TV provider that styles itself in the same, scrappy mold as the nation's third-largest wireless carrier.
