Miami, FL | Who's Really Going to Pay???
All these content carriers are going to do is increase the cost of their content to cover the 3 cent fee. So the customer really is going to pay 23 cents to recieve those messages. |

The content providers can easily afford it. |

Those are free and now they're going to charge google? Will they stay free? Probably, but this is still fucked up. |

You are misinformed. The wireless companies take about 51% of all revenues generated by premium campaigns on top of all std fees. For example if you subscribe to a campaign that costs 2.99/mth and you are a verizon customer, they will take about $1.50 and all std fees from the generated revenue and pass on the remaining to the content provider!! Given the structure of revenue sharing I think they are just plain greedy. |
