The marginal cost per subscriber is negligible, and the monthly fees are substantial. Most people can't be bothered to change their service once they're subscribed, so the main cost is acquiring new subscribers. Hence a huge pool of subscribers is an immense asset. Yep, thanks for noticing. I was just thinking the same thing myself. Time for some new posts. :) The costs are large, but in the cellphone world, subscribers are king.

However, the buyer will have to migrate the subscribers to its telephony network, offer them new cellphones, etc. The costs are unavoidable. BTW - you haven't written for quiet a while... @Josh

Here's why another cell phone company would want to buy up a failing one. If there are 3 remaining companies, the failing company had X subscribers, and it fails, each company can expect to get X/3 new customers (assuming the remaining companies have equally good marketing). If one of the remaining companies buys it up, however, that company would purchase the entire customer base of X customers. Nice post.
