Well, if you mean rapid price falls, in fact it was still, but after introducing 1/1 debiting and national calls for at most 0.60-0.80 LN/min, mobile calling became really affordable for most people. Don't also forget that what I report here is mainly about prepaid market whereas there are many changes in postpaid market (larger packets of free minutes/message at the same price, data tariffs, etc.).
Orange rebranding wasn't a price hike very much (the basic tariffs remained the same like in Idea) but some extra packets and similar stuff are in fact worse than in Idea.

The market is "still" also in the sense it's still growing . Each of the three operators exceeded 10 million users (but including unused yet still active prepaid SIMs laying in drawers ).
