I know it may not affect some networks but some countries is in problems financially. Just curious that with many chains of phone stores its bound to affect them. Do u work for a phone retailer if so what is ur daily income, how many sales do u actually make? As things get worse people ain't gonna want to buy them and concentrate on Electricity, Gas and food the 3 basic lifelines that are rising. Im curious to this it might not happen but im seeing stores close under my feet working in retail myself Customers are feeling the pinch. Share your experiences and comments.......

If the crunch remains and gets worse I think we'll see a few phoneshops close im talking like cities with heaps of the same store. But i think this doesn't affect them continously

I think the type of industry it is they will normally always survive. Though i do think perhaps people might be cutting back on their bills a bit or putting off buying that expensive iphone for a while. Maybe the slow uptake on pre pay iphone is something to do with it who knows. Its expensive.Though with alot of smaller retailers yes some could be affected.

You don't mind if i comment on this one, yes even if the parent company is into IT services and it is having its subsidiary in another country like India, it is known as a captive center.
