| .01 + Costs It may cost them .01 cents a minute whole sale, but lets not forget AT&T had to set up the infastructure and maintain the facilties that the Troops use. Lets not forget the man power required to operate everything - add that all in the pure cost of .01 cents for the calls connection goes WAY up. 21 cents a minutes is somewhat resonable esp if you consider (as someone else said) to call there from the US is 79 cents a minute.

when you compare the size of the AT&T montrosity versus the 100,000 troops over there, that's a drop in the bucket for their total base. iow - they can afford to take a hit at a nickel a minute. | |
