That's an angle I've never thought of - but wouldn't it be possible for a business model built on medium-term locked-in contracts (featuring subsidised devices) encourage churning on the part of customers? Operators/carriers might not have any incentive to design solutions to keep long-time customers if that's the case.

All too true - and something many companies tend to forget.
