Then he is an intellectually challenged individual & he won't last. People stay carriers like Verizon or AT&T because of the subsidies. The promotion of discounting the phone $1000+ is what sells the overpriced service contract. If he wants to start charging monthly for the phone at full price, then he is going to need to balance it y reducing the cost of the monthly or his churn rate is going to go sky high.


People will flock to the carrier with the best deal and it would seem Verizon's CEO is not interested in being that carrier.

typical Verizon tactics

As well it should be.

Verizon provides my home internet service (FiOS) as well. It's fiber to the premises, convert to Cat6 at their Optical Network Terminal, and I'm free to plug in whatever edge router I want. I admin the network in my house and I need no other support from them.

Cell service should be the same. Give me access to the spectrum and tower infrastructure. So long as I have a clean IMEI, I should be free to use whatever phone I want.
