snaimon · **? -** 12-11-2007, 23:06

1. I have no authoruty to speak for you EU folks.
2. I am relatively new to cell phones in US.

=====================================

How about listing PROs and CONs? Here are some possible points.

Cons:

1. Language barriers (although this could be overcome with language options on customer service menus)

2. Who likes change? NOBODY.

3. Consolidation may LESSEN competition and increase prices (small guys lose out).

4. What happens to MVNOs?

5. Will cause turmoil in market.

PRO:

1. Roaming MAY become cheaper (voice, data, SMS).

=====================

Don't claim these are either CORRECT or ALL-inclusive. PLEASE add or correct.
