Obviously nothing is absolutely free to provide, but to charge $5 extra a month for a service that costs them about .01 cent to provide to every customer a month is a little exorbinate... it's highway robbery with a 50,000% profit margin -- and that's not an exaggeration. Same goes for text and pix messaging on cell phones. Most people don't realize how little it costs these companies on a per customer basis to provide these services, yet they'll charge 50,000% more for it. |
