On the one hand, yes, the smaller MVNOs are probably going to take strain in trying to keep up with what the large carriers can offer and there will always be those that would rather stick with the big carriers. The problem though with not offering the extra, is that eventually they will loose many clients, as data and multimedia is the way consumer needs are going, so by not having these services, there's not much of a need being fulfilled. From my experience with Net10 though, they seem to be keeping up perfectly...their latest offering of unlimited talk, text, picture messaging and web for $50, is at a lower rate than anything of it's type in postpaid. Yes, their profit margin is probably lower, but they stand a far better chance of attracting and keeping new customers. I have mixed feelings on this.
