BS: wireless will be fixed when operators will accept to be dumb pipes, with flat prices, and without almost mandatory bandwidth+device bundles. That's exactly what they don't want, and doesn't seem to be what T-Mobile offers.
In France, free.fr wreaked the whole market by offering illimited phone calls + SMS + data (bandwidth capped beyond 3GB/month) for €16 to €20, depending on whether you already get ADSL from them. No device (rather, unlocked devices can be bought with a 12 or 24 months credit, in a contract independent from the network subscription), network subscriptions can be cancelled in 1 month. Simple, cheap, readable. All other operators had to follow suit.
- batgaijin 14y agodude do you watch mtv? those phones are the only reason we have music videos right now.
- gergles 14y agoThat is exactly what T-Mobile offers; all of these prices do not include a device (you can purchase one on installments.) The pricing is higher, but other than that, it's basically the same shebang and T-Mobile doesn't have a profit-margin wetdream of a landline network to subsidize their pricing.
