This is an exciting model. I believe network connectivity should be treated like a local utility that is priced based on cost, not as a premium service

- shyn3 13y agoThey drive up their cost of doing business exponentially by making bad business decisions.
- icebraining 13y agoI'd rather have the lowest price. Cost-based pricing doesn't necessarily achieve that on the medium to long term, because it leaves no margin for cost-cutting innovation. In any case, the problem here wasn't the price, but the cost itself; even if they were doing it at-cost, no telco would just send a guy with an antenna, a 2W amplifier and a computer, that can only support a few dozen calls simultaneously. They just work at a much bigger scale.
