but that conflicts with your last statement about ARPU. they definitely want higher ARPU.
having 1 million people paying $30 will bring $30 ARPU and a total of $30,000,000.
having 3 million people paying $10 will bring $10 ARPU and a total of $30,000,000.

why manage three times as many accounts and increase risk of churn to end up with the same amount of money in the bank with lower ARPU?

basically what im trying to say is you cant raise ARPU and lower prices. those two are not friends with each other.

and i still dont get what the hype is all about with "Verizons open network." almost since the beginning of GSM there have been devices that you simply need to put a SIM card into to get them to work like this. just add a line and get it a text or web plan, then insert your SIM. so easy and many years old! and i dont have to make sure my "open network" approved of the device.
