Re: No Need for Speed

I would not be so certain.
just take a look at the price wars
going on with unlimited minute cell phone plans.

my whole company just switched over to Sprint phones
because of their $99 everything unlimited plans with
$250 per phone in sign up credits.

I suppose it's possible, but if it happens anywhere, it will happen in the bargain basement "granny plan" tiers of service. Those are the plans that are designed to appeal to cost conscious customers.

Of course, upgrading the network would probably change things for the better in this segment too. I think Comcast's idea of a granny plan is something like 4 Mbps, which would have been a high-end offering 5 or 6 years ago. So if Comcast's "speed tier" moves to 50/5 or some such, everyone else may get at least a little extra love.

Hmmm ,, do you understand the fact that it's the small guy and user that has the say on anything?

It' ALL small companies that built any country.

Example: One or few companies / against millions of users
Which do you think is going to win if even 10% or users band together to fight back?
