Source: Dailytech Even if we credit it to the iPhone and its exclusive contracts , it's nice to have revived a price war between operators who preferred to share the cake.
In France, iPhone's arrival launched the war in the price of data packages previously almost non-existent and now cheaper by the month.
In the United States, the war is now focussing on telephony tariffs, a sensitive issue because unlike us, it is the receiving party who pays for incoming calls.
Within a few days, 3 operators out of 4 (Verizon, T-Mobile and AT & T) have announced plans with totally unlimited voice and without constraints. Already T-Mobile is considering to add unlimited SMS also.
In France, if some attempts in this direction have been made, they have never lasted long. It must be said that the mobile arm of each group is a superb money-making machine.
A fourth 3G operator is coming (probably Free or Numéricable) so things are moving in the right direction.
