Re: Japanese 3G carriers impose limits.... No one is saying that we don't get that mobile providers need caps. Of course I get that A LOT more than I get cable/telco ISPs saying that. The problem is that 5 GB is a joke, the overage fees are a joke. Even Verizons new "lower" fees of 5 cents per MB is a total rip-off. Then there is the prices. Ok fine have your 5 GB cap and 5 cent per MB overage fees then you should only charge $20 a month for that crap.
You want to charge $60 a month. There's no reason how a 20 GB cap would cripple a service. If you want to charge high overage fees as an incentive to NOT go over then putting at 5 cents per MB isn't going to stop that. People think "5 cents that's not too bad" because they have no clue about the difference between a MB and a GB. Charge $1 per GB( about 1/50th of what they charge now ) not only are they getting the actual cost and then some of the extra bandwidth, people will repsond to getting charged $ vs getting charged ¢ per unit and thus will be less likely to go over. Since charging so much is suppsosedly to encourage LESS use as not to tax the system too much. |
