IMHO not the same. Carrier at that time was a pedigreed local company with an international reputation whose product was a tangible thread in the American fabric (Willis Carrier). Carrier at one time employed thousands in Syracuse. My family’s glass company even did business with them. I can remember some of their community outreach whereby retired executives would speak at symposia at my high school (Henninger). It was a good and  understandable fit. It was close to being warm and fuzzy embrace. The underwrote almost 10% of the cost - close to $3 million (under the auspices of United Technology as I remember). It was good corporate citizenship and a locally warm financial embrace. 
This one w/JMA Wireless is purely mercenary and the company, as I said is just some soulless name conjuring images of invisible modernity and not especially relatable. Almost humorous like KFC Yum Center or Tony Macaroni Arena. 
Carrier = kinda cozy, local concern. 
JMA Wireless = just a billboard, a faceless company. I mean I hold no enmity towards them and I do wish them luck, but it’s just a part of the goofy reality of modern economics. 
More power to Wildhack.
