Same here in Norway. I remember being jealous of people in the US with a flat local rate. We paid by the minute for everything, even more for "long" distance. My father got rather upset when we got a phone bill of 5000 NOK back in the day because I had downloaded something from a BBS in Bergen from Oslo. Funny how things have reversed, now we are the ones with unmetered fast internet and the US has datacaps and whatnot.
