that cell phone bills are not expensive because they've been deflationary is an odd leap to make because it's just not enough information to make that determination. you could just as easily say that costs went from extortionary to merely exhorbitant. there's no way to pin it down without some comparative information. if they've indeed been deflationary, my guess (and it's only a guess) is that capital expenditures (like building/upgrading cell sites) are slowing down now that increased capacity and speed are not the great differentiators that they once were, and a trickle of that cost savings is reaching the consumer (without diminishing returns to shareholders of course).
