I think what they are saying is Verizon and AT&T have historically not competed on price at all and they now might have to do so. It means lower revenue for them. The carrier's have been enjoying that luxury of no price competition for a long time. They tend to think their networks are the advantage and people should pay out of their noses for the privilege of using it. AT&T and Verizon actually raise prices in unison on a lot of things.
GASP! Dare I say say the two companies may have to actually act like they are in a free economy???
That is what I want for Verizon and AT&T to have to look at there prices and think about them now insted of just raising because they had no other competition that was a big threat. I would so love for AT&T wireless prices to go down, they are too high in my opinion, also the "Other charges" thats a killer on the bill, At least my bill it makes it go up another 13-15 dollars a month.
