In fact many mobile network operators (not just MVNOs like Boost Mobile) do not own/operate their own towers. Even for those who do, they most likely lease coverage in rural areas where they don't have a presence. Furthermore, many MNOs have roaming agreements in place with their competitors.
In Sprint's case, they don't own any towers any longer. They sold their towers back in 2008, and they contracted Ericsson to take over network operations in 2009.
Sprint to sell wireless towers for $670 million
Ericsson to manage Sprint network in $4.5-$5bln deal
