Throwing numbers up without providing any analysis of substance isn’t exactly what I was talking about. Do you see a difference between Rich’s analysis and OCR’s?
[/quote]Who says anyone has to analyze anything? Let the reader do their own analysis and form their own opinions. It’s better to have the data and examples excesses than for the information to be hidden.
If you don’t like it don’t read it. That’s what freedom of speech is all about.

Participantcdma eng, if one assumes the market is mature (meaning most American who want cell phone have one already) then why would the carriers need more capacity other than for organic growth.
They need the capacity if they want to sell more services which they plan to charge more for to increase revenues.
That means that they believe Americans are willing to spend more on wireless services.
That’s where I differ with you. I think that American will cut back during the recession. Carriers will have a hard time generating the revenue windfalls they were expecting.
Would you download a video for $2 each? I would not. Teenagers may do that but parents will put limits on usage.

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