An off-contract plan that is actually more attractive than the competitors is exactly what is being offered. WIND mobile is the company I'm talking about. I didn't want to get that specific, but there ya go. I am not affiliated. And while I see your point about the high barrier to entry, all that does is delay the process. Eventually...if a profitable market opportunity is there to be taken, someone will take it. If it requires a big player, then a big player will do it. Granted there may be a longer period of suffering.

>WIND mobile is the company I'm talking about. So kind of like I was saying then... their coverage map has more holes than coverage. But they still get to charge about as much as the big players by offering no contracts, and it doesn't break the cartel because customers will never switch to them in large numbers as a result of the poor coverage. Why do you expect price competition to ever be a profitable strategy in a concentrated market? If you lower your prices to gain market share, so will your competitors, and so lowering prices doesn't actually gain you any share, it just lowers everyone's margins. Nobody has any incentive to be the first to do it. > If it requires a big player, then a big player will do it. Granted there may be a longer period of suffering. Maybe if you wait long enough. But if the waiting period is measured using the geological timescale, it may be prudent to weigh other alternatives.
