What's missing is the option to BYOD but also sign a contract at a reduced price because you don't get a hardware subsidy. I have a Nexus 4 and would have considered doing that but it simply doesn't exist so I had to go prepaid instead.

So AT&T gets $50 a month from me for 250 voice/unlimited text/1 GB data but I can leave whenever I want. I would have signed a contract for $50 with maybe 3GB of data - basically their average contract plan - but they want the same price as if I got a subsidy. Their loss, and they will lose me altogether for at least a few months when my built-up prepaid credit is used and I try out T-Mo - that wouldn't have happened with a reduced price contract.
