My guess is the grandfathering plan will include your current phone and contract. This means when someone decides to upgrade to a new model their data plan will change because they are signing a new contract. This means that current users will be fine, but when they want the new iphone 4 or whatever they decide to go with their contract will change as well, forcing them onto the new data bucket plan. Verizon will be doing the same thing (they have as much said so), the only catch will be how much cash they plan on charging for their buckets. A smart VZW would price better than ATT, but a greedy one would follow the market prices set by their competition. Any bets on whether they will be smart.... or greedy?
They are greedy.
We don't have real competition between them at all. One goes first the other follows because they know the lack real choices other than the big 3 limits people from defecting.
It is collusion without the illegality of actually discussing it with the competition.
They drop hints to each other in the press before they act so all of those companies are ready to do the same thing around the same time. It is pure BS.
Welcome to capitalism. At least the oligopoly version, anyway.
