Apparently, he has already had the bill reduced to C$3,400.

I bet they just charged him their cost. It just shows you how overpriced some services are, and how cheap they can afford to actually sell things for.

That's no where near their costs... I don't remember where I saw it on here, but it was posted as news a while back that the cell phone companies are charging a million times more than their costs in providing the data service.

said by mlundin:

That's a load of crap. If cell phone companies are charging "a million times more than their costs in providing" anything, their profits would be through the roof and their stock would be the most valuable stock anywhere. The proof that this IS NOT THE CASE is in the stock reports, which are transparent because all of these companies are publicly traded. Cell phone companies do make money, but they don't make "a million" or a thousand, or a hundred, or even ten times their cost. THAT is reality.

Hmmm....I need to get him to renegotiate our mortgage......
With skills like that, he could make a killing in the private sector!
