It just so happens that the average upgrade cycle in the U. S. has increased to 32 months, up from 25 months a year ago, according to estimates released by NPD in July. The figures also show that more and more people are hanging on to their phones for three years or more: 22% of respondents in the second half of 2017, up from 18% of respondents in the second half of 2016. "The continuous improvement of device build quality and components, coupled with higher price tags, has motivated consumers to hold on to their smartphones for longer periods than in the past, " said NPD analyst Brad Akyuz. If a customer pays off their phone in 24 months but doesn't upgrade until 32 months, that's a window of eight months where they could be shopping around for another carrier. Sure, T-Mobile takes on some credit risk with installment plans (it reported a $116 million credit loss allowance in the second quarter related to installment plans), but extending installment plans to 36 months should greatly reduce the risk of customers leaving at a time when smartphone upgrade cycles are already approaching 36 months.

Overview Of Liposuction Procedure Not many of us have the body we want. We diet and exercise and yet still have those annoying areas that we wish we could "fix. " Thighs, buttocks, hips and stomach are some of the areas that many of us would like to improve. Well, now we can. Tumescent liposuction, also called liposculpture, is an advanced technique of permanent removal of fat that is located in specific pockets on the body. The word "tumescent" means to swell, and this is derived from the technique of infiltrating a large volume of fluid into the area being treated. This fluid contains a dilute anesthetic and completely numbs the area, allowing the procedure to be done while the patient is awake. This compares with the old style liposuction, which carried a much greater risk and was responsible for some side effects not seen with the newer tumescent technique. They call it liposculpture for a reason; the doctors of Dallas-based Dermatology Consultants will be sculpting new areas on your body, allowing you to fit into clothes you haven't worn in years, rebuilding your confidence, and improving your outlook.
