INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
HarrisX says consumers would support the merger of T-Mobile US and Sprint if it does three things
If it results in lower pricing
If it boosts wireless coverage in underserved and rural areas
And if it results in economic growth
Let take a closer look at these three areas and see what we can expect.Regarding wireless pricing
Unfortunately, based on other mergers, what I see is higher prices, not lower
Now this merger could be different
However, based on what we have seen in the past, I think prices will rise
They will stay lower than Verizon Wireless and ATT Mobility, but they will likely be higher than today.Wireless price will likely rise with
T-Mobile, Sprint merger
The reason is simple
Today, both T-Mobile and Sprint need to capture the imagination of the marketplace
They need something to win market share
If they had the biggest or best network, they wouldn&t have to focus on price
However, to win market share they must give the customer something else
