June 05, 2014

With the wireless phone industry moving away from subsidized smartphones, the cost of the phone psychologically is going to feel more expensive, said Harry Wang, director of mobile research at Parks Associates.

From the article "RadioShack can fix that cracked phone screen" by Maria Halkias.
