Verizon Wireless' strong market position, perception of quality, and its proportion of income has a strong competitive advantage that would allow a small price increase--making the demand inelastic, "quality demand stretches very little in response to price change" (McConnell et. al, 2004).
Imagine if nobody had a cellphone in today’s world. That’s why today everybody has some form of a cellphone contract with the four major companies (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile) or a less know cellphone provider. AT&T and Verizon Wireless provide more than the other two major companies.

It is particularly important to understand how employee motivation can be impacted by the strengths and weaknesses of AT&T’s retail sales consultant position (RSC). A series of interviews and surveys were conducted over a two-week period with employees of AT&T in the RSC position as well as retail management positions to determine how the employees really feel about this position as well as internal strengths and weaknesses that contribute to employee motivation. Although there are a lot of positive factors that keep the employees motivated within AT&T, there are some weaknesses that can cause employees to become demotivated.

The management of a communications suite will be changing over the next 10 years due to a 2010 Presidential Memorandum directing the Secretary of Commerce, working through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), to collaborate with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to make a total of 500 megahertz of Federal and nonfederal spectrum available for mobile and fixed wireless broadband use. The reallocation of the frequency spectrum will nearly double the amount of the commercial spectrum and should spur investment, economic growth, and job creation while supporting the growing demand by consumers and businesses for wireless broadband services (National Telecommunications & Information Administration, n.d.).
Pre requisites of this technology are a 3G connection and a 3g compatible mobile handset in 3g coverage areas. Since this issue was first raised in 2006, many companies had set up their infrastructure by 2008 and could have launched it by then since the country had 3g capable networks. 3g could also have been used on computers and tablets having broadband as a smartphone is not the only enabled device. However, due to much delay from the government’s side, the technologies were finally launched in 2014. This means that all 3G capable mobile phones may use this technology in some way no matter which network they use. Currently, only expensive smartphones have both 3g and 4g enabled on it while most medium-priced have only 3g and low-priced have 2g only.
