Re: Prices Skyrocketing As Early as Next Year?????

Not to mention, Virgin, Cricket, Metro, etc. How many carriers are there? 20? 30? More? And each one will be required to fork out half a Billion dollars each year to keep their spectrum. Assuming 30 carriers, you are talking $150,000,000,000 in fees alone, on top of what is already paid. This will kill all of the smaller carriers, and probably Sprint and T-Mobile as well. Are you ready for a $75-$100 increase in your bill?
