Well, another thing that'd really help competition and lower prices would be to A) separate the carriers from the phones. IE, you buy your phone, and then you get your provider. They already do this in England and Europe to some degree and from what I've seen, it's been a smash hit. B) eliminate contracts and go month to month only, or allow for a very easy out should someone want to go elsewhere. Almost everyone else does it, so why do the cellular providers gotta be special? Being finned for voting with your feet is stupid. You should be able to walk away from your provider at any time for any reason and not incur any fees. I know the cellular providers would fight that with a passion, because it means they'd have to actually give the customer what they want instead of always finding new and creative ways to chain them to a wall, and then screw them till they bleed. C) create alakarte packages that you can mix and match to be whatever you want it to be.

Only when competition is truly forced on the providers will any real reasonable price schemes be seen in the cellular industries, and reasonable services. 5gb a month for $60? Yeah, right. When hell freezes over.
