PORTER’S 5 FORCE MODEL:
INDUSTRY RIVALRY – It’s very competitive. Pricing plans, trying to load you away, celebrity endorsements. This is a very competitive industry. People compete on cost and on differentiation. Each competitor offers incentives that the other one may not have.
POTENTIAL PLAYERS – Really cost exorbitant. It takes a lot of capital to compete with large companies that are already doing business in the cell phone industry. So the threat of new entrances is very low.
