Arlington, VA | Industry standard pricing is called a market price. Just milk usually costs roughly the same, so too there are certain prevailing prices when it comes to the mobile market.
The fact is that every major carrier offers an array of phones--some are exclusive, many aren't--at prices ranging from $0 to $600. Hundreds of unlocked phones can be bought standalone on the Internet and used with any GSM mobile network. Wireless plan pricing is intensely competitive - when Sprint unveiled its $99 unlimited plan, other carriers quickly matched its price. Every major carrier offers both long-term and month-to-month pricing. |

Like a bunch of dumb sheep...hmmm Which sounds like an oligopoly & anti-competitive to me... BIG, BIG, problem that the gov't is supposed to address. |
