On: SMS 4x More Expensive Than Data From Hubble

[redorb]

this kind of gouging has to turn off consumers. I know when I heard a gallon of inkjet ink was $4,000 I immediately started looking for better solutions

[xirium → redorb]

By volume, inkjet ink is more expensive than vintage champagne. By volume, SMS is more expensive than hand delivered postcards. There's no excuse for such gouging.

By volume, 20oz bottled water is more expensive than gasoline. And will continue to be so until gas hits $7/gallon.

Smart industries charge what the market will bear.

I don't know if gasoline in 20oz containers would be any cheaper than water.

but i would like to think there is a ethical point of profit (I.E. credit card companies in my mind lack a company '"ethical backbone")
