You really haven't got a clue.
An open market model similar to this is what has driven Europe's cell phone industry. While carriers do offer subsidized phones for a contract lock in, most people in Europe don't use it. Unlocked cell phone prices are considerably cheaper there than here in the states and the level of innovation in technology and pricing models is way ahead of whats offered here.
