There have certainly been big changes in the cell phone market and related industries so that they can make more money from their existing customer base, and this occurs because of the technology changes. The myriad of services offered to cell subscribers has grown from just the basic handsets and contracts previously on offer, the companies realised they were not going to sell new handsets to the same degree as they used to as there are few new customers, most have a handset already, some have many phones. Additional services are the way to make monre money, they justify additional charges to customers for mnew and ground breaking services though they already have a phone. Things like web browsing and news services. Another cell service is free reverse cell lookups which are designed to allow people to look into who owns a particular phone by searching on the number. They appear free but only the search is free, to access the results they charge a small fee, and so make lots of money.
