Cost Most Important Factor In Choosing Carrier For Europeans
A new study says that cost and coverage are the most important factors in choosing a mobile operator for European consumers. That would explain a lot of the success of no-frills MVNOs there, but as they proliferate, competing solely on price will become more difficult. The firm behind the survey says that data services are growing in importance, which makes sense, as operators will soon need something other than price to differentiate themselves from one another. Hopefully they'll find some data services other than video calls.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
