Questions for discussion: 

  • Do you think these price cuts will bring in more total revenue for these firms? Explain your thinking.
  • What do you think is motivating these firms to offer a flat-fee for wireless services?
  • Is it a good choice, or should they be offering stepped prices for low to high volume users? Explain your thinking.
