The Downfall of the Major Carriers?

Can a new wave of smaller, lower-cost wireless carriers upend the great titans?

A rather long article at Forbes says that the big guns T-mobile, Verizon, and AT&T better watch out: up-and-coming free wireless carriers, as well as growing wi-fi/VoIP networks could put a major DING into corporate profits.

The solution? Give customers what they want, instead of squeezing every last drop out of them to maximize profits. Stop charging a ludicrous 10 cents per text message. And quit changing company names because it doesn’t make your company any more hip than it was before. And give me a good deal on a cell phone plan without having to refer to a “Cell Phone Carrier Insider Tips Sheet“. Thank you.
