bump goes the night

I don't want to place words, but if they announce this it will be phased say 5 years. Once verizon and at&t find that out they will jack up the prices to monetize the spectrum holdings because their value will surely decrease. They will need to make up that gap, each of billions.

So take VZW, 100m customers and a gap of 5 billion, that would be 50 dollars/user to recoup in 5 years, which isn't significant however they will probably tax us to the tune of $5/month to make sure we fund the new build out and pad their pocketbooks before the rats leave the ship.

In any case I think they will have their hands full with these new share plans with churn for the next two years. AT&T played it better than verizon w/ slightly higher cost (to make up for phone subsidy gap) and not forcing people onto the plans (for now).
