It's a big rabbit hole.</p> <p>Plan A: Stop calling it Windows. Surface is preferred but just pick a name that doesn't have Windows in it.</p> <p>Plan B: Rollout one high-end phone a year, two mid-range and three low-end models, all of which have attractive off-contract pricing. Be very aggressive with pushing sales reps to see the value in WP. Provide them with a kiosk (aka Surface tablet) that lets potential customers quickly explore all the available apps, especially the top 20, 50 and 100. The point is stop chasing the high-end and build from the ground up. Push these low-cost OEMs hard to innovate and release products broadly.</p> <p>Plan C. Purchase Sprint and T-Mobile and become vertically integrated, giving customers using WP preferences in terms of plans and savings.</p> <p>Ultimately, the entire Windows eco-system is at stake here. Something very major has to be done to right the ship.</p> </div> <h2>[WHY]</h2> <ol> <li>]&nbsp;</li> </ol> <h2>[WHERE]</h2> <ol> <li>]</li> </ol> <h2>[WHEN]</h2> <ol> <li>] <a href="http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/plan-b-windows-phone" target="_blank">Plan B for Windows Phone?</a> - by Paul Thurrott</li> </ol> <h2>[EXAMPLE]</h2> <ol> <li>] 2014-07-08</li> </ol> <h2>[HOW-TO]</h2> <ol> <li>]</li> </ol> <h2>[REFERENCE]</h2> <ol> <li>]</li> </ol> <h1 style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</h1>
