subscriber gain?

buying other mvno companies and merging their PRE-EXISTING customer base isn't really an addition when you have to PAY REAL MONEY to acquire those subscribers.. your just buying more of an ever shrinking market for cell phone customers.. a market which is evolving from post paid to prepaid in the pace of the last 5 years.

these customers are increasingly:

NOT wanting to be tied to a contract.
WANT cheaper handsets uncrippled by carriers
CHEAPER & competitive (which benefits the CONSUMER)unlimited calling and unlimited data plans
CHOICES and OPTIONS of which services and/or features to buy based upon price and the ability to bring the SAME handset to any other carrier-- thus an orange to orange comparison (won't use apples since that company is rotten -almost- to the core).

expect more price erosion from the $40-$60 unlimited plans-- try unlimited voice, text starting at $20/month in the space of 1 year. Adding Data in for another $10-$20 per month quota to unlimited plans (which includ EVERY other HANDSET supported feature possible by the carrier included in the $10-$20 fee).
