Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/10/2015 -- Consolidation has not led to higher prices, as the no-frills segment continues to dominate. Customers are now accustomed to cheaper prices for good-enough services, and are unlikely to move onto more premium plans unless operators can make the case. This is not only apparent in terms of mobile services, with 3G continuing to dominate, but also in the broadband market, through dedicated mobile broadband and DSL. Investments have been made in VDSL and DOCSIS, but the market's structure towards flexibility also hinders the movement towards convergence.
