My take on this: if you are a wireless carrier, might as well save those millions you plan to spend on music download services, or video services, and instead try and lure more customers with better (and cheaper) voice plans to your network. It seems to be working for T-Mobile USA, which attracted 4.1 million new users in 2005, despite its obvious lack of high-speed networks, and fancy offerings. Its unique selling point – despite spotty coverage – low prices.
