Success Of Cellphone Industry Hurts Service

While it seems that no one is thrilled with their service provider, it does seem that many people are more understanding of service problems on their mobile phone than in other areas of technology. The article repeats, again, that the various wireless carriers are still expected to merge down, and those deals might help with service problems.
