Just a quick post this time to predict what happens next with the US mobile carriers.
Current iPhone users with AT&T move over to Verizon when their contracts end. T-mobile customers under contract run in droves to Verizon and Sprint once their contract is up and they realize who their carrier actually is (AT&T). AT&T is then left with the small and waning customer base it had before the iPhone came out and then withers and dies. What we have left is Verizon and Sprint. Verizon will feel zero need to innovate since they will be the hands down dominant carrier and Sprint will struggle with financial issues in order to stay viable. Prices will increase and service and reliability will suffer.
