I fail to see a competitive edge for this company? If providing uncapped internet is profitable at those rates, can't the existing telecom providers just start offering uncapped plans? That renders the whole point of this company moot.
- JusticeJuice 10y agoNot really - it gives you a chance to grab market share. Even if the competition catches up, you can have already gotten a lot of loyal customers.
- hueving 10y agoThis is really risky because it takes so little for competition to catch up. They just offer another pricing tier in their billing system that shuts off caps and they are done.
- demarq 10y agoIn kenya a company called zuku started providing uncapped home internet at about the same prices. Now its well on its way to owning the market for Internet at home, despite all the efforts of local telcos to compete. At the same price the biggest telco is only willing to give about 12gb capped data. And it's no where near the quality of a zuku connection. I think it might have to do with the physical infrastructure. A cell tower can be seen as an access point shared by millions and therefore has to have limits on what each device can send and receive. Home internet is via fibre and an an access point shared by only memebers your household.
