T-Mobile Lowering Data Costs In Europe
Slowly, but surely, it sounds like wireless carriers are realizing that it's tough to drive adoption of their new data intensive phones when they charge ridiculously high prices for data. Something needs to give. The latest is T-Mobile announcing that they'll start knocking down their mobile data rates in Europe. So far, many wireless carriers have done everything wrong: no clear value proposition combined with pricey phones and pricier service. Lowering the service fees is a good first step.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
