English term or phrase: the subs are still looking for lowest common denominator
If the god of telecom networks cast a spell tomorrow and made your network all-IP and IMS, how big a difference would that make?

Blums Pineda: On the demand side, we don't talk about rolling out new services, we talk about trying to get the subscriber to do more. But when I look at 3G networks, I think there's something still missing. I feel that the subs are still looking for lowest common denominator - wherever I can get a voice or SMS dialtone.

Explanation:
"the subs" is short for "the subscribers" just mentioned in the previously in the same paragraph.

I'm pretty sure you don't need an explanation on "the lowest common denominator" since it was asked several times here.
