<< Do you suggest the Q withdraw from the WLL business even where the effective demand is demonstrated?>>
That is not what I am saying. I'm just trying to figure the arithmetic, trying to figure out about how big the end-user price differential will be. 10-20% is not enough difference, IMHO.
In first world countries, I would think WLL cannot be enough less expensive, because of substantial entrenched wireline and wireless competition most everywhere. In second world, it would need to be 25-30% of mobile. In third world, 50-75% of mobile might be low enough. These are guesses, of course, since the only third world country I know really well is Pennsylvania. (OK, that joke is getting a little old, so I'll knock it off.) But I've make my living
And had I gotten all the way caught up on reading the thread, which I have now done, I would have asked exactly the same question even with the higher 4-5-6X ratio. As stated, the technical efficiency is only one part of the cost structure. |
