Large Businesses Poised to Switch Wireless Providers
It's not just consumers who are itching to switch wireless carriers the first second local number portability is available. A new study says that nearly one quarter of all businesses are drooling over the opportunity to switch, with nearly half of those planning to switch within the first 90 days. Interestingly, their biggest issue with carriers wasn't coverage, but screwed up billing practices - and the fact that it took an average of over four calls to fix billing snafus. This is something that is clearly fixable, but which the carriers continue to ignore, as they spend their money trying to fight off wireless local number portability.
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.
