I believe that operators that have a roaming agreement (i.e. part of the
same consortium) would do so.  I liken this to the "partnerships" that
the airlines have forged.  My frequent flyer miles accumulate whenever I
fly any of the partners, and they honor each other frequent flyer status
levels, etc.

Competitors would not easily come to agreement, but then competitors may
not want to allow transparent roaming across each others infrastructure,
so that point seems somewhat moot.

Yes, but it's not the competitors I'm addressing (see above).
