In 2011, three firms were selling cellular phone service for a price of $40 per month in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Each firm serviced 100 cell phone customers; thus, all firms together serviced a total of 300 customers. In 2012, five firms were selling cellular phone service for a price of $30 per month.
