I ran the simulation with the following setup -
1. there were three trust brokers each of which issued a single fixed-rate tariff with rate = 0.5.
2. There were 15 villages and no. of houses = 2 in each category.
3. With fixed probability 0.2, each trust broker superseded their previous tariff with a new fixed tariff and incremented the price by 0.01.

For one of the brokers, the number of subscriptions dropped to zero and stayed there even though it was offering tariff at a lesser price than the other two brokers.
