Re: Cell phone devices prices will rise if advocates win
Maybe your argument would fly if we were talking about ending long-term contracts, which is what the phone subsidies are based on. But we are talking about exclusivity, which is a completely different thing. One only need to look at the large set of phones that are not in exclusive deals to see this.
In fact, ending exclusivity might result in lower-cost phones, as carriers differentiate by lowering the cost of the latest "hot" handset. |
