Comments on: Three and BT launch 'Terminate the Rate' http://thereallymobileproject.com/2009/05/three-and-bt-launch-terminate-the-rate/ Mon, 21 Mar 2011 17:51:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: DanLanehttp://thereallymobileproject.com/2009/05/three-and-bt-launch-terminate-the-rate/comment-page-1/#comment-292 DanLane Fri, 22 May 2009 03:19:11 +0000 http://thereallymobileproject.com/?p=434#comment-292 Actually I'd imagine most people on Three are on cheap tariffs so they would be hoping that by being able to afford to give unlimited everything for £35/month they'll get more customers on higher tariffs for essentially the same cost. The end result is that some customers will actually pay more but get much better value for money and some customers will save money, either way Three wins and Kevin Russell (who you'll see interviewed about this in a special show tomorrow) will probably get a nice bonus.

The mobile networks in the UK have been suffering from falling ARPU or ARPC (average revenue per user/customer) and at the moment you can get unlimited SMS, same network calls and data for around £20-£25 depending on which network. Even with that, you get a good number of cross network minutes, so this £35 is simply IMHO a way to extract more revenue from each customer.
