Re: Hmm. . .
The problem with the cellular business (and same with many telecommunication businesses) is that it's not elastic. Most people get hit with a 5c increase in text-messaging will just complain and pay up, or maybe get a text-messaging plan (which is what the cellcos want you to do), so there's no disincentive for other carriers not to do the same thing, no matter how many there are. |

said by fireflier  :... So explain to me again why some cell providers just raised text messaging to $.20/msg from $.15/msg? ... same story - the cell business is not really that competitive. Little or no competition is very conducive to price increases and/or service degradation. |
