Re: Cambodia mobile operators urged to steer clear of price war
price war can be a race to the bottom
corners cut to reduce costs, deepest pockets win, monopoly gained then abused resulting in consumers getting poor service then high price
the price war is a short term consumer gain that can result in long term pain
good its being monitored tbh

Sorry, I could've been clearer. I was referring to the marketing terms they use, not the price war:that genius wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2017 6:22 pm How does a price war make it difficult for customers to shop around?
Don't price wars totally benefit consumers?
I mean it's difficult for customers to shop around and easily get an understanding of the plans and their relative costs, because you'd need to find out what they charge per MB, for example, and calculate how much you get from the $1=$333 or $1=$500.that genius wrote: I wish they wouldn't use such meaningless terms as $1=$333 or $1=$500 though. But that's always been the way mobile providers work, obfuscate everything so your plan sounds better, even if it's not.
Instead of just telling us... Where's that "daily bitch" thread again?
