In "The Slow Death of the Deadbeat Carriers, pt 4" I reminded all about the price competition kicked off by the upstart T-Mobile that reconfigured the US wireless industry.

 T-mobile eliminated plan contracts, eliminated handset financing (at least usury style financing) and made the unlimited data plan a mainstay. Look at what those changes did to T-mobiles subscription business

Over the last 5 years, I have warned that T-Mobile would start turning up the heat in the US dead beat carrier business (see links below). I call them dead beat carriers because they relied on a virtual duopoly of cash cow cash flows and failed toi innovate. They actually allowed Silicon Value to capitalize on thier apathy, and now they are rlelgated to bg dumb utlitiy pipes in lieu of the lifeblood... the synapses of communication and commerce between all people an businesses.
