Perhaps you recall me writing this one up before, it's still current.
007SH | SoftBank
THATS why I remember the Softbank name!
I was trying to figure out why I remembered the name from a while before the talks of purchases. It was because I was impressed with this phone from Japan way back when. It happened to be on the Softbank network. Thanks, it was bothering me, and you've connected the dots in my head.
I've noticed a significant theme throughout the thread. Alot of us have been loyal customers through the years (side note/rhetorical: why do so many of us tend to wear our service duration like a badge of honor?), but just about the most important benefit it seems that alot of us enjoy at this time is unlimited data. We know Sprint probably reads
some of the internet chatter and we can tell that they know they have a competitive advantage with unlimited data since it has been a significant selling point in their advertising. However, I'm wondering if there is any way that we can clearly communicate our position further to Sprint Corp. and Softbank despite whatever message they provide us.
Maybe I'm just talking to the wall or thinking utopian but I think it would be really cool if we, as customers, could deliver a statement of some sort to all parties including Softbank and New Sprint to hopefully ensure the continuance of completely Unlimited Data (we could also stress the need for a more expedient Network Vision completion). Not to say that I think Sprint or Softbank have their priorities out of line, I just think It would be really reassuring to know that everyone involved is on the same page going forward and that we did our part to try to maintain and make better.
I don't know how we can get this message through, but I can see that Unlimited Data is a MAJOR splitting point for the consumer. Even if the word that we are getting from them that they plan to keep Unlimited Data for the time being I still think it would be our wisest move to confirm the decision in some way to stave off some of the inevitable changes that can occur when companies go through business decision changes.
Anyone have any good ideas on how we could attempt to get a uniformed message from the consumers to the top decision makers?
