Getting the Services to the People

With the HTC EVO 4G mega phone, there will be concern among the users as to whether this new phone will be able to reach their residences or offices. Even if this hurdle is overcome, in order to communicate with other mobile users it is essential that they too have the coverage to received and send messages.

There are various problems that might present themselves in terms of getting coverage for everyone on the HTC EVO 4G mega phone system. Some of them are just due to the infrastructure within the area in question while others may require some action by the makers of the HTC EVO 4G mega phone.

To begin with the infrastructure in certain areas may not be able to cover the HTC EVO 4G mega phone. Some of these problems are historical for example as the case was when the majority of the public was unwilling to have mobile masts within their communities. Apparently there was a very persuasive rumor going around that people who live near mobile masts tended to develop mysterious illnesses. While this allegation has not been proved, the clamor from the community has meant that building of mobile masts has not been as quick as it should have been.

Barriers to Entry

The coverage for the HTC EVO 4G mega phone will not be just about whether the mobile mast can send the adequate radio waves to the client phone. It also involves the ability of people to embrace the new technology and use it in their daily lives. Judging from the economic situation and the progression of other technologies it would appear to me that this is nothing but a dream in progress. There are people who simply cannot afford to have the HTC EVO 4G mega phones no matter what scheme is put in place.

Other people just have phobias against technology in general and will not see the HTC EVO 4G mega phone as an opportunity but rather as something to be feared and handled with care. It might take them a few years to get to grips with the HTC EVO 4G mega phone. By that time chances are that it will have been replaced by yet another fancy gadget. You cannot force someone to take up the HTC EVO 4G mega phone unless they really want to and are willing to pay for it.

I wonder what the pricing structure will be but if they continue the process of lock in contracts, they might end up driving consumers away. The lock in contract for any mobile phone including the HTC EVO 4G mega phone feels like a prison within the business community. Even if the customers are not necessarily going to run to another company, they want to feel that they have that option and that they are not limited by an old contractual obligation to stick with their current supplier. Once you reach the stage where you are trapping your users then it is time to leave business.
