11. Infrastructure –
*I have the biggest network - Network Coverage As service requests increase, carriers may have to share networks as there is limited network resources

*Disasters! When it quits working
There are two categories of failures; natural disasters such as hurricane interruption and over demand usage interruptions

*How Fast? Which "G" do you have?
As the hardware becomes faster, so will the data service need to become faster to meet the demand requirements of customers

*Network increase; Land line decrease
With the greater demand for the mobility of cellular services, the "land line" is an endangered species.

*Mobile infrastructure a better investment than carriers
Carriers are in heated battle for dominance, but without the infrastructure necessary to meet the future demands, it will depend on the biggest network
