In the U.S., for example, they seem to have no clue that attrition to pre-paid and second tier players is going to decimate them soon if they don't move on pricing more aggressively. The fact that everyone's now on a 2-year contract allows many operators to think wishfully that they'll just roll over into new contracts for the low, low price of a phone subsidy. I believe that for the first time in the U.S. wireless market, a significant percentage will not roll over but will go to MetroPCS, Boost Mobile, PagePlus, Cricket, etc. The only major that is remotely competitive is T-Mobile, with Sprint being slightly competitive if you factor in quality of data network. No matter how you slice it, interesting times ahead!Curt Carmackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145384635831454337noreply@blogger.com
