What causes a company to charge these obscene rates? Is it some loophole in “transit” costs? I am thinking something similar to the “inbound revenue” received by “free phone conference” services - these “last mile” providers have special agreements higher costs, etc..
- devoply 8y agoMonopoly status in a captive market to make a certain number of individuals very rich at the expense of employees who are outsourced to third world countries and the public which pays obscene amount of money for a product that costs literally less than a penny per unit/message to produce. This sort of capitalism rustles my jimmies.
- tom_ 8y agoIt's a business contract. Companies seem to be a lot more hardnosed with these things about openly segmenting their offerings, and being somewhat cruel about it. I bet there's one where you can send literally 1m international texts a month for free, for example, and it costs, like, $2.50/mo more. But these people didn't pay for that one. And so here they are. As a business owner you are expected to be a bit more on top of this stuff.
