i wonder what will happen in the coming year with all of these discounts on data
The mobile battleground is clearly shifting away from voice/text to data, a trend which will almost certainly continue into the immediate future. Restrictions on voice minutes and long distance are already starting to feel quaint - - unlimited Canada-wide is quickly becoming the expected minimum for tier-2 and - 3 flanker brands, if not the major carriers. And as data gets more affordable, consumers are likely to discover two things: 1) providing data is not quite as big a deal as we were led to believe; and 2) most people don't need as much of it as they might imagine. Which will only encourage the marketers to oversell more aggressively than ever. Don't see prices coming down much, but a year from now, we'll probably be getting more for our dollars.
Few, if any, current devices are 5G-ready so although the networks might be coming faster than expected, codgers like me can probably breath easy for a few more years. (Still running a Nexus 5 as my daily driver and have zero interest in paying 1 - 2K for a device, or an implant, or whatever we wind up with.)
Since you asked 😏
