Participant[quote=patientlywaiting]Say a family budget is $50/person per phone. Subscribers aren’t going to be willing to suddenly pay $80 or $100/mo per phone for some extra data services.[/quote]
Your pricing models are wrong here. $50/per person is way off. I have 4 phones on my family plan. Cost is $90/month. Data services are an additional about $30/month (not sure if that is per phone or not – I don’t subscribe to it).
Also, I could see many dumping their fixed-location $50/mo cable modem for a $30/mo mobile EVDO connection. Save $20 and connect anywhere.
Lots of newly unemployed people start businesses and will require enhanced services more than as an employee.
I’m not saying it the wireless industry is growing through the roof, just pointing out that alot of your assumptions and understanding of the industry are not correct.

Participant[quote=4plexowner]just curious – how many families making $100K or more are interested in living in the $400K Clairemont house?[/quote]
They definitely exist. Typically, they were either high-end blue-collar, teachers, or single-income professionals. We hang out with a few $100K+ families in the area. We are all happy to be living within our means.
Roughly the premium between here and Carmel Valley for the same size house and lot is about $300-350K. For the same size house on 25% smaller CV lot, you still pay $150-$200K. That comparison makes it a palatable choice for many.
The parts of Clairemont that you can see from the major roads are not so nice, and there are areas to avoid, but the comment that “most of the area is ghetto” is not one borne from in-depth knowledge of the area.
Here’s a nice place near friends of ours which that sold recently. With some cosmetic changes, it is very livable in an area where you’d let your kids play in the street:
