Competition is great (for the consumer…)

Here in Israel Cellular Modems were once very expensive. The rates were super high. About a year ago they dropped because of a price war. I got a card for about $75.00 and was allowed 12 gigs of transfer per month. Now a year later there is a price war between Orange and Cellcom. Orange has a plan for about $30.00 per month and allows 5 gigs of transfer. Cellcom has a plan for about $40.00 and offers unlimited. When I say unlimited I mean unlimited with no cap. I right away canceled my current plan and ordered a new card. The new cards are great as well. They are now offering 2 mBits down and 1.4 mBits up. I know I will kick myself again in a year when hopefully the rates fall even lower.
