Because consumers continue to pay those amounts.
- rayiner 10y agoBut why can't Verizon just do the same for FiOS? And why don't consumers just get TMobile unlimited for $70?
- tw04 10y agoBecause Verizon has created an artificial monopoly by buying up the vast majority of the most coveted spectrum. The only reason T-Mobile is even in business still is because of the failed AT&T acquisition which netted them more valuable spectrum than they had ever or would ever have been able to get via the government auctions. AT&T can somewhat compete, but the failed T-Mobile deal hurt them far worse than anyone seems to be acknowledging.
