The first month you pay 175$ , stage 2 150$, stage 3 100$, stage 4 50$, stage 5 25$, stage 6 25$.
For a total of 525$, it makes not a big difference than 500$ so people would go more for it.
And they won't stop in the middle because they paid 175$ at the beginning and maybe
325$ if they did the first 2 stage.
You can even raise a bit more the first stage if needed like:
1-250$ - 2-125$ - 3-50$ - 4-50$ -5-25$ - 6-25$ = 525$
This payment scheme negatively affects the perceived value of Shannon's products. One 5G stage with super technologies included = $ 25 ?
I understand your reasoning, but from a customer perspective, it's not working. Definitely not. Yeah, maybe there will be some users who will agree with that one, but in the real market, it's not working.
In the end, it depends where Shannon wants to position himself and his work. If he perceives his subs as superior in terms of quality to the competitors', this payment scheme is not an option.
It's all about commitment. If one wants badly enough to evolve, she/he will find the monetary means.
