Re: Could 3G data price cuts soon make an appearance?

It comes down to the following:

1. There's a limited amount of spectrum (varies by market/county/MTA/BTA) accessible to any site.
2. Cell site 'density' (allowing for 'reuse' of spectrum). Sites aren't cheap (equipment, NIMBY, power, backhaul). Sprint worked out well here in SoCal, as they purchased Nextel, and added their CDMA sites onto Nextel cell sites (bypassing NIMBY/site build and many slow regulatory processes).
3. Use (data/voice) management

Balancing the above 3 while attempting to make profit margins demanded by Wall Street isn't always an easy job.
