Ngo-2022, i-Verizon, i-T-Mobile, kanye ne-AT&T ngayinye inemisebenzi eminingi yokuphromotha yamadivayisi ahamba phambili, okugcina inani lababhalisile abasha lisezingeni eliphezulu kanye nezinga lokungakhokhi liphansi. I-AT&T kanye ne-Verizon nazo zaphakamisa amanani ohlelo lwesevisi njengoba izinkampani ezimbili zenethiwekhi zifuna ukunciphisa izindleko ezivela ekukhuphukeni kokwenyuka kwamanani entengo.
Kodwa ekupheleni kuka-2022, umdlalo wokukhangisa uqala ukushintsha. Ngaphezu kokukhushulwa okukhulu kumadivayisi, izinkampani zenethiwekhi nazo seziqalile ukunciphisa izinhlelo zazo zesevisi.
I-T-Mobile isebenzisa iphromoshini yezinhlelo zesevisi enikeza idatha engenamkhawulo yemigqa emine ngo-$25 ngenyanga ngomugqa ngamunye, kanye nama-iPhone amane amahhala.
I-Verizon inephromoshini efanayo ekuqaleni kuka-2023, inikeza uhlelo lokuqala olungenamkhawulo lwama-$25 ngenyanga kanye nesiqinisekiso sokugcina leyo ntengo iminyaka emithathu.
Ngandlela thile, lezi zinhlelo zesevisi ezixhaswe ziyindlela yokuthi abaqhubi bathole ababhalisile. Kodwa ukukhushulwa nakho kubangelwa ukushintsha kwezimo zemakethe, lapho izinkampani zekhebula zintshontsha ababhalisile kubaninizo ngokunikeza izinhlelo zesevisi ezishibhile.
I-Core Play ye-Spectrum ne-Xfinity: Amanani, Ukuhlanganisa, kanye Nokuguquguquka
Kwikota yesine ka-2022, opharetha bekhebula i-Spectrum ne-Xfinity bahehe izingcingo ezihlanganisiwe ezingu-980,000 ezikhokhelwa ngemuva, ezingaphezu kakhulu kune-Verizon, T-Mobile, noma i-AT&T. Amanani aphansi anikezwa opharetha bekhebula athinta abathengi futhi aqhubekisela phambili ukwengezwa kwababhalisile.
Ngaleso sikhathi, i-T-Mobile yayikhokhisa u-$45 ngenyanga ngomugqa ngamunye ohlelweni lwayo olungenamkhawulo olushibhile, kuyilapho i-Verizon yayikhokhisa u-$55 ngenyanga ngemigqa emibili ohlelweni lwayo olungenamkhawulo olushibhile. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, umqhubi wekhebula unikeza ababhalisile bayo be-inthanethi umugqa ongenamkhawulo ngo-$30 ngenyanga.
Ngokuhlanganisa izinsizakalo eziningi nokwengeza imigqa eyengeziwe, amadili aba ngcono nakakhulu. Ngaphandle kokonga, umyalezo oyinhloko ujikeleza esicelweni somqhubi wekhebula esithi “akukho mingcele enamathiselwe”. Abathengi bangashintsha izinhlelo zabo njalo ngenyanga, okususa ukwesaba ukuzibophezela futhi kuvumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bakwazi ukushintsha. Lokhu kusiza abathengi ukuthi bonge imali futhi bahlele izinhlelo zabo ngendlela abaphila ngayo ngendlela izinkampani ezikhona ezingenakukwazi ngayo.
Abasanda kungena baqinisa ukuncintisana okungenantambo
Ngempumelelo yemikhiqizo yabo ye-Xfinity kanye ne-Spectrum, i-Comcast kanye ne-Charter basungule imodeli esetshenziswa ngokushesha ezinye izinkampani zekhebula. I-Cox Communications yamemezela ukwethulwa komkhiqizo wabo we-Cox Mobile kwa-CES, kanti i-Mediacom nayo yafaka isicelo sophawu lokuhweba lwe-“Mediacom Mobile” ngoSepthemba 2022. Ngenkathi i-Cox kanye ne-Mediacom bengenaso isikali se-Comcast noma i-Charter, njengoba imakethe ilindele abantu abaningi abangenayo, futhi kungaba khona abadlali bekhebula abaningi abazoqhubeka bevela kubasebenzisi uma bengavumelani nokuncela abasebenzisi.
Izinkampani zekhebula bezilokhu zinikeza ukuguquguquka okuphezulu kanye namanani angcono, okusho ukuthi abaqhubi kuzodingeka balungise indlela yabo yokuletha inani elingcono ngezinhlelo zabo zesevisi. Kunezindlela ezimbili ezingakhethi ezingathathwa: Izinkampani zekhebula zinganikeza ukukhushulwa kohlelo lwesevisi, noma zigcine amanani ehambisana kodwa zengeze inani ezinhlelweni zazo ngokungeza okubhaliselwe kumasevisi okusakaza kanye nezinye izinzuzo izinkampani zekhebula ezingeke zikwazi ukuzidinga ukuze zihambisane nezindlela noma ukukala. Noma ngabe yikuphi, izindleko zesevisi cishe zizokwenyuka, okusho ukuthi imali etholakalayo yokuxhaswa kwemishini ingase inciphe.
Kuze kube manje, uxhaso lwehadiwe, ukuhlanganiswa kwezinsizakalo, kanye nezinsizakalo ezengeziwe ngezinhlelo ezingenamkhawulo ze-premium kube yizici ezibalulekile eziqhuba ukufuduka kusuka ekukhokheni kusengaphambili kuya ekukhokheni ngemuva. Kodwa-ke, uma kucatshangelwa izinkinga ezinkulu zomnotho opharetha abangase babhekane nazo ngo-2023, okuhlanganisa nokwenyuka kwezindleko zesikweletu, izinhlelo zezinsizakalo ezixhaswe zingasho ukushintsha kusuka ekuxhasweni kwemishini. Abanye abaphethe sebevele benze amacebo angabonakali mayelana nokuqeda uxhaso olukhulu lwemishini obeluqhubeka eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Lolu shintsho luzohamba kancane futhi luqhubeke kancane kancane.
Okwamanje, izinkampani zenethiwekhi zizophendukela ekukhushulweni kwezinhlelo zazo zesevisi ukuze zivikele indawo yazo, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sonyaka lapho ukukhushulwa kwenethiwekhi kushesha khona. Yingakho i-T-Mobile kanye ne-Verizon zinikeza amadili okukhushulwa kwesikhathi esilinganiselwe ezinhlelweni zesevisi, kunokunciphisa intengo unomphela ezinhlelweni ezikhona. Nokho, izinkampani zenethiwekhi zizonqikaza ukunikeza izinhlelo zesevisi ezishibhile ngoba azinaso isifiso sokuncintisana ngentengo.
Okwamanje, kuncane okushintshile mayelana nokukhushulwa kwehadiwe selokhu i-T-Mobile ne-Verizon zaqala ukunikeza ukukhushulwa kohlelo lwesevisi, kodwa isimo esishintshayo sisaholela embuzweni obalulekile: izinkampani ezimbili zingancintisana kahle kangakanani ngamanani esevisi kanye nokukhushulwa kwehadiwe? Umncintiswano uzoqhubeka isikhathi esingakanani. Kulindeleke ukuthi ekugcineni inkampani eyodwa kuzodingeka ihlehle.
