| industry evolution.. You all make it seem as if the wireless industry is in crisis.. but in reality it is in a state of evolution. Smart phones are slowly becoming the NORM in the industry and will get cheaper (sorry for all of you paying $600+ for a phone, but your getting hosed) by orders of magnitude-- your $600 phone will be $150 soon. The $300-400 phones will be $60-75. Voice calling will be value added features of data plans. I'm sad to say, there will be many charging for aggregate data caps for some time, but unlimited plans will be available for a $$ Price $$-- but voice will be virutally free as part of all plans (or a bucket of 2,500+ rollover minutes per month).
Prices will range from $25-99 for unlimited voice + 5-10gb all the way upto next gen high speed @ 50mbits unlimited for $99/month. By this time, FIOS should see their first price cuts on the horizon q4-09 q1-10 making all their services 1/2 their current price. Sure, blame the stupid economy, customer retention, more cost effective technology.. but the deals will get better.
BTW, $25 a month for wireless will be a Vonage/Voip killer. Who wants to be tied down to a home land line when you could have a cell phone & same features for the same price each month? | |

Brooklyn, NY | Very true except that new models will always carry a hefty price tag, no matter how cheap they become in a year.
On the pricing it was always just the question of WHEN - Europe abandoned this DISGUSTING AMERICAN RIPOFF PRACTICE of charging both ways regardless of who calls whom and they have a MUCH BIGGER and FAR MORE ADVANCED cellular market.
It's about time to end AT&T's, VZ's etc market abuse.

[BQUOTE=[user=bicker]]Waaaa waaaa waaaa. You just want what you want and don't care to factor in what is right or true. Your perspectives are un-American, and deserve far more ridicule than I'm prepared to pile on them.
