Badru,
Like you, I love it when prices tumble.
But I have always suspected that the Price of a product is influenced
by multiple factors(e.g. quality of service, competition, regulation,
usage, etc) acting in a delicate balance that need to be manipulated
holistically . Tweaking Price (or any other factor e.g Regulation) in
isolation can lead to very unpredictable behaviour (on competition,
regulation, quality, etc) in the market.
walu.

The race is truly on to the bottom of the pyramid. I only
hope the outcome will be sustainable for all. My worry is this
competition might be too successful at separating the boys from the men and
then to make sure the boys do not disappear the regulator will come back with a
lifeline from the losers in this round with enforcing measures that prevent any
set of players (MEN) to have Significant Market Power which then makes
all this competition malaky irrelevant since there is a likelihood that our
taxes might be used to prop up the losers .
So where does it leave us. Is the competition good or bad
?? is the glass half full or half empty ??
I await the outcome meanwhile I’m talking more and paying
less so my pockets are happy with the current state.

Most
likely, you haven't read/heard this: but it's true. 2/= per second...
But
