Re: security sysytems, sat TV said by mrkevin:Don't forget to plug your cell phone into the Dish and the security system...oh yah it has to be charged to... Verizons scheme. 1st. create a wireless network. It doesn't have to be any good just has to be there. Next, Sell all your land lines to retarded companies, knowing they will fail. next, set out a campaign to discredit the takeover companies and tout your wireless network. next, Enjoy all your customers back. It's BRILLIANT!!!! That's very insightful! I think it's also about money too. Think about it this way, the ARPU on a cell # is almost $55/mo. And when you get cell phones, they're inherently personal devices, so a family of 4 has 4 lines instead of one home phone like in the old days. And then everybody gets these more complex devices and now you sell data plans on top of that, and messaging packages, etc. So even if Verizon loses a landline customer, that money's probably going to be spent on more wireless add-ons. More time spent on a wireless handset makes the customer more likely to buy more stuff there. If you get their super-duper premium family plan, 1400 minutes over 4 lines is $220 per month. But as you pointed out, their wireline footprint is going to be so small, they're much more likely to take customers away from cable or non-Verizon ILECs. |
