I'm probably gonna get flamed for this, but I have no idea who this actor is. Meaning it's fairly likely he takes jobs that pay because that's how he supports himself.
People still go to work for companies like Amazon, Google, and Tesla etc. I can understand and fully agree with boycotting new media based off a world created by a bigoted asshole. I can't dig flaming working actors who probably can't just pass up the work.
Edit: Never mind. I didn't recognize the name but I do know the actor. I retract most of what I said.
Could compete how? He gonna buy infrastructure? He gonna be an MVNO? (None of whom are really competitive with the big players because a lot of them are either regional, have to buy batches of data and minutes from the big three, or have pretty bad service). And who's going to buy it? His supporters? I doubt that. This is just another grift.
