I don't believe can be considered open and fair competition until the US outlaws selling cell phones which are carrier locked and all providers are required to offer fair discounts for unsubsidized/no-contract customers.
Even then, you'll have 2 options, both of which suck.
- joebadmo 16y agoI pretty much agree with you, but right now we have four options that all mostly suck. I think that's partly because of the tech/bands. If it were two companies with handsets that worked on both, I think it would help. But you're probably right that the subsidization/contract model is a bigger problem.
