in contrast to incidental text messages, text users with bundles average almost 1000 texts per month. because of this greatly increased usage, the overall price for text messaging has dropped precipitously. since then, we cut the average price by almost two-thirds to about 1 cent per message. secondly, i have provided some charts with my testimony. those show the wide variation in pricing plans overall. pay-as-you-go pricing varies widely. they're charged differently depending on the plan. some prepaid customers pay 5 cents, up 20 cents, up 10 cents. i notice from the the testimony that they have a different plan. there is no suspicious coincidence in the timing for these price changes. the different carriers change their prices over a period of two years. in a competitive market, you would expect some competitive prices over time. the market evidence shows the fierce competition across the wireless market. the fcc reiterated that u.s. customers are seeing low prices, new technology, improved service quality and choice among providers from all competition in the wireless marketplace.
