Colorado Springs, CO | Competition Not Working If company A makes a move to restrict service and the others follow how is that competition.
Seems more like competition to rape customers more.
If they would employ network QOS they could ensure customer experience and fully utilize network resources. Now they'll just have idling t1's because they drove customers to wifi.

It may be collusion, but it may be simple non-collusive oligopoly.
All major carriers (not sure about T-Mobile) have 5GB caps. Therefore, Sprint may theorize that bandwidth costs can be lowered by instituting their own caps without losing users, since their existing users do not have any uncapped option, and no option will become readily available, since the costs of entering the wireless industry are quite high. To the corporate accountants, this may look profitable.
Note that if "the new" Clearwire offers uncapped services, this may become an incentive to push users off the older EV-DO network and onto the new WiMax network. Though, that WiMax network doesn't exist yet. |
