The Free State Foundation questioned a report by Britain’s Office of Communications (Ofcom) that wireless subscribers there pay lower prices and get a better deal than consumers in the U.S. “The intense pressure on telecom companies in the UK and other countries in Europe to reduce consumer prices has caused those companies to lose revenue and delay investment in infrastructure and innovation,” wrote FSF Legal Fellow Sarah Leggin (http://bit.ly/1hzNq2f). “Moreover, the plans available for such low prices do not include the data capacity that the average wireless customer today demands. As such, the low prices offered by wireless companies in the UK are not a proper basis for assessing the differences in consumer welfare between the wireless marketplace in the U.S. and the wireless marketplace in the UK."
