Some of that may have to do with Syniverse being the porting engine for
those 3.

Exactly this.
I actually ported my personal cell number to Verizon from ATT yesterday.
Gave the rep my ATT account number, He 30 seconds later asked me for
the PIN I set on my ATT account. I provided and my number was working
before I hit the door on the way out. Total port time was <5 Min.
I questioned the Rep if this was always the case and he said only if
porting from Sprint/ATT/T-Mobile. And that basically any other carrier
(Not including MVNO's of the above) took 3-5 Business days. Which is
about in-line with my current wireline porting.
I figure they all exchange so many numbers a day it was in all of
their best interest to work together.
Not to mention, By automating the process. They don't have to keep an
entire call center worth of LNP personnel to handle their volume.

I think the incentive is to cooperate because it is a relatively small
group of wireless carriers compared to wireline.
The main reason being that they don't want their ports held up, so
they work well with others.
Also since there is a small group they could automate the back office
processes between them and submit the request and aknowledgment
quickly and without human interaction.

This does raise, in light of the OP, the question of what economic or
political incentive wireless carriers have to cooperate in relatively
seamless porting to/from each other.
