    The cellular/mobile phone industry in the US is probably THE worst when it comes to treating customers like customers, instead of assets. When you actually value customers through a four letter acronym (look it up/do the research if you're unfamiliar with ARPU), it's not entirely unlikely that there are things in motion behind the scenes to drive up demand artificially, while on the books companies like AT&T and Verizon (the latter of which has a well documented history of locking built-in features out of phones in order to extract a premium fee from their use by customers-see below) look squeaky clean. ----- http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Verizon-Wireless-Users-Sue-Over-Disabled-Bluetooth-Features/ http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/Verizon-Wireles... http://www.infoworld.com/d/adventures-in-it/verizon-locks-out-spectrum-features-444 http://www.infoworld.com/d/adventures-in-it/verizon-locks-ou... http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/161019/verizon_locks_out_gps_competition_customers_complain.html http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/161019/verizon... http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobilize/want-droid-work-e-mail-itll-cost-you-extra-575 http://www.infoworld.com/d/mobilize/want-droid-work-e-mail-i... http://www.pencomputing.com/wireless/motorolav710.html http://www.pencomputing.com/wireless/motorolav710.html
