Since we are in a competitive environment I would expect news of individual operators changes in price to be useful only for purposes of informing consumers to take decisions. The importatnt thing is that no operator should be stopped from reducing or increasing their prices as they wish. My own belief is that the price elasticity of demand for mobile voice is fairly negative, especially given that an individual consumer can run multiple SIMS. Let's wait and see.
