Until those carriers increase the rates that the companies need to pay to access their networks.
MVNO's have fewer sunk costs (and typically horrible customer service) than traditional carriers, however, they are totally at the mercy of these carriers. If Tracfone starts increasing their traffic on Verizon's network, you can bet that Verizon (or whatever carrier another MVNO goes with) will increase the usage costs the MVNO (and thus the customer) has to pay.
