T-Mobile users will be in for a surprise coming this fall. SMS overage chargers will be increased from 15 cents to 20 cents. To grandfathered BuddyTime customers and those on unlimited message plans this means absolutely nothing, but to others you need to start regulating your monthly messages.
The change will take effect August 29.

Commentary from Airwide CEO Kevin Wood on Telecom TV
Worldwide, mobile operators are struggling to maintain their current ARPU levels as competition drives ever-lower pricing for voice minutes and text messaging plans. At the same time, operators are trying to determine what is the secret to developing the next generation of applications and services that enable them to attract new customers, reduce churn and to get more value from their existing customers.
But predicting the next "killer app" is not that simple. And the mobile industry is infamous for bouncing from one topic to the next in a desperate search for the next great app.
Predicting the future is the art of seeing the present logically extended. Given the degree of interdependency -- and invested capital -- among the key players in the value chain, changes in the industry will likely be evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
Hear Airwide CEO Kevin Wood highlight 4 key factors he sees in predicting the future of mobile messaging applications and services in this interview with Telecom TV.
