Looks Like honeymoon period is over for WiMax Users

Looks like honeymoon period is over for Wimax users, Wi-Tribe is back with Activation charges. Now Wi-Tribe is charging activation charges , and these charges are non refundable. This step may be taken because of increasing number of churn customers. As a user, I would never like this changing in tariff , but as a part of any net service provider I won't totally go against it. Users usually misuse these special offers where they dont need to pay for activation charges or any other charges at the time of subscription. This gives freedom to customer to not to pay for what he had used previous month. But If you go in depth, there are only few customers who don't like to pay for what they used. Just for those users who will never come back again once you started charging for activation or device charges in starting , this will impact on numbers of signups.
On the other side Qubee the main competitor in WiMax broadband in Karachi, still not charging for Activation or subscription charges. Although Qubee must also be facing churning ratio little bit higher because of not charging any non refundable charges till yet. After Wi-tribe it's more likely that now Qubee will also start charging for subscription(connection or activation) charges and also for Wimax ( WiFi or Non WiFi CPE) . Up till this date (30th June 2010) Qubee is not charging for any activation or any device charges.
