Washington, DC _ The Computer & Communications Industry Association sees Sprint’s “Simply Everything” offer announced this week as good for competition and consumers.

The $99 plan is set to compete with larger carriers by offering a flat fee for unlimited voice, data, text, email and other features and services.

“The success of companies like Sprint and T-Mobile are critical to consumer choice and the wireless competitiveness landscape,” said CCIA President & CEO Ed Black. He added that otherwise the wireless market could be left with the same kind of duopoly many consumers face with regular wireline service.
