AT&T Wants Device Subsidies to Be As Low As Possible

Why not end subsidies?

by kingstu May 17, 2012, 3:06 PM

I know the consumers would revolt but just offering unlocked, unsubsidized devices would allow the carriers to focus on their networks. I don't have to buy a different TV if i want to switch between cable or satellite or fios.Let device manufactures make devices and allow the customer to choose the device and the network.
