munky261: Yes, they would flock there in droves for certain. That's the funny part though. The CEO's who run these companies have totally lost touch with reality, and with the common customer. They're more interested in the $50 glass of lemonade and totally miss the fact that it's not how much you can charge them and get away with it, but rather just the sheer number of customers that'll make you rich and successful.

The rule of business I was taught early on in life is, you take care of the customer, and your employees, and the rest takes care of itself. I have yet to see that rule fail once. Also, if you take your focus off everything else and only put it on the bottom line, you might have success for a while, but you will eventually fail. That much is guaranteed. It may take a while for that failure to complete, but it will happen.

tso: Actually, no. Given that all the other carriers would have customers locked into contracts, they'd only be able to migrate over as their contracts ended. So the influx of users would be manageable, and as capacity was reached in each area, additions could be made to the system to easily keep up with demand. On top of that, most cellular locations have more than sufficient bandwidth. The idea being that they've got room for lots of growth should it occur.
