Re: The industry is intensely competitive now.... They're in the business to make money, period. Cricket and metro pcs are not fully national because it costs time and money (something they don't have a surplus of) to expand. If everyone expects cheap prices, then coverage is compromised and expansion is slowed.
I'd like to see these people try and run their own company on the basis of providing excellent products/services at dirt cheap prices. $10/mo for unlimited voice/data/txt and global coverage? How about that? I'll sign a 10 year contract for that. |

 | True but lets look at the pay and stock options and other benefits of the top 30 people at each phone co and look at what % profit each phone co invests back into hard infrastructure vs say ....oh I dont know lobbying and campaign contributions....or "astroturfing" activity like the Koch brothers |

The money's being spent to buy another company (spectrum/assets). What tmobile owners do with that money is their business. They would then no longer be in the wireless business. |
