lower prices already..

what we need is for the other carriers to start lowering prices otherwise there shouldn't even be an auction.
screw the fcc getting top dollar for the spectrum, consumers need lower prices, not the top 6 cellular carriers getting more of a land grab which brings higher and higher wireless prices. at least 10 years after the copper wire went to UNLIMITED calling plans, the cellular industry is dragging its ass and dug-in to keep away from cheap unlimited calling plans!!!

And, if not that... how about prices below .05 per minute?

Re: lower prices already..

theres no unlimited calling plans on copper, only local calls are unlimited. its the same with cellular where "local" becomes phones on the same network. you still pay extra for long distance whether its voip, cellular, or traditional landline. no matter how you slice it 20 million simultaneous calls takes up a lot of network bandwidth, and thats going to cost money.

Re: lower prices already..

I think he meant flat rate plans that give unlimited local and long distance calling. I just got one, because my wife and I noticed that nearly 90% of our wireless calls originated in our home. We got unlimited local and long distance on our home phone for only $15 more than we had been paying (I already had a POTS line for my DSL). This $15 increase on our home phone is probably saving us $100 on our wireless bill.

I make LOTS of long distance calls and I don't nave nor want a cell phone. My long distance bills were around $300 a month until I ditched AT&T and signed up with one of Verizon's Freedom packages and now I'm paying $55 a month and making unlimited long distance calls to any cell or landline in the U.S. and Canada.
