Seeking Alpha reports that US wireless companies lost customers in the first quarter.
According to Phillip Cusick, a JPMorgan Chase & Co analyst in New York, US wireless carriers shed a combined 20,000 contract customers in the first quarter.
Where did they go?
Is this a single quarter aberration or the beginning of a new trend? Does the ability of employees to bring their own device to work result in fewer subscriptions overall? Is pre-paid gaining at the expense of post-paid customers? Are customers looking for increased flexibility and avoiding contracts?
