A family of 4 now easily has a $200/mo wireless bill.

There are several ways to cut that bill in more then half. Family plans, pre-paid, etc.
Now if you have unlimited data, text, etc plans, yeah your costs could be quite high. But that’s no different then a $45 basic cable vs. $100 with all the HBO/etc channels. There’s room to scale that back.

Absolutely. Stick to basic calling. No downloads, ringtones, internet, etc…
But how will cutting back by households give the mobile carriers the incremental revenues/profits to pay for peak-price infrastructure investments of the past few years? At the same time, the carriers are losing wireline customers every day and calling tariffs are dropping.
T-Mobile invested the least of the big carriers and they will be rewarded by being able buy technology at much lower prices.
