6 [Con] The End of Unlimited Plans (Maybe)

Unlimited data plans are, at their core, a way of attracting new customers to a network. But in the face of reduced competition, wooing new subscribers won’t be as much of a priority for a combined T-Mobile-Sprint firm.

But it’s not just T-Mobile and Sprint customers who could see the end of unlimited options. According to some analysts, if one carrier drops unlimited plans, the others might be inclined to follow suit. Looking at other countries with fewer major telecom firms than the U.S., this seems more like a possibility.
