The Carriers should go 1 step further

Carrier pricing should be based on the local demographics they are servicing. Hollywood California should have both higher MRC's and phone pricing while Detroit should have lower MRC's because of the lower wages earned. The amount you pay is based on both the address your bill goes to and the address your phone number comes out of.

Example-
A guy that wants to pretend he's got a second house based out of Aspen CO, but really lives in St. Louis pays 2-3 times as much as if he would have gotten his number out of St. Louis.

If this was the case, then I think 300 Million people would move to Detroit over night.

What! that is a stupid idea...for so many reasons. There is no way in hell they would ever do it anyway. I cant even get they to stop charging my for 3G data when I do not live within 100 miles of where it is being offered.

LOL Freaking A, hahahaha

I completely agree!! Here's why: I would buy a phone in Middle-of-nowhere Nebraska and then sell it in orange county, California. I'd make a killing. I could make up the gas money on like 10 HTC Hero's and put my kids through college with like 100 Ifones.

But what about online pricing? Based on point of sale, shipping or wharehouse.

....again, and I quote; "LOL Freaking A, hahahaha"
