"Three-quarters of mobile phone subscribers are wasting an average of nearly £200 a year because they are on the wrong contract, research suggests"

See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12996175

Nobody will talk the exact amount of minutes available on their contract, so taking that into account everybody will overpay by varying amounts. It's a lose-lose situation, whichever side you fall on.

IF people change their contracts to something closer to their needs as a result of this 'research' then the networks will make a smaller profit per customer and as a result will increase prices for everybody.

I wonder what the conclusion of this research would have been before the iPhone was released?
