Abstract
Abstract: While satisfaction and loyalty in regards to physical goods and some services have been studied to a great extent in marketing and information systems research, there is little research on these factors with respect to mobile telecommunications services. Furthermore, there is no standard measure for satisfaction with these services. This study taps into these voids and examines the antecedents of satisfaction and loyalty through an empirical study of 80 cellular subscribers in Ontario, Canada. Results of the study suggest that most causal relationships depicted by the American Customer Satisfaction Model are valid in the mobile telecommunications sector. However, due to the switching barrier, loyalty to a wireless service provider is no longer a unidimensional construct, but rather comprised of two independent factors – repurchase likelihood and price tolerance. This investigation also suggests that there are some differences in service perceptions between prepaid and post-paid cell phone users. Based on the model, a satisfaction index is calculated for Canadian wireless service providers. This index is found to be low in comparison to those of other sectors and industries. Overall, this study forms the foundations for future benchmarking of the performance of wireless network operators in terms of satisfaction and loyalty.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
