- PaulHoule 12y agoIt's the kind of thing that makes you wonder why LTE networks exist at all.

A month of WiFi costs less than one day of running postage stamp ad in a daily paper in a small market! No wonder why Big Telecom is so resistent to wireline expansion -- why offer affordable wireline service when you could 'offer' LTE which is $10 a GB when and where it works.
