Yeah, that one is painful too. But again, those deals are fairly rare, and for every Mint, there's another MVNO.

The only real change we should make here is to require network operators to offer their service to MVNOs at reasonable rates. Ideally, the network would operate as a separate business from the carrier. But we only really need to enforce that if MVNOs disappear, and there are still a ton of options.
