Actually, that Kushnick (sp?) guy has been doing that for several years now, talking about the true cost of CallerID and how much people are charged. But Caller-ID is an OPTION and not required. Do I wish it was cheaper - sure. But even at the price they charge, to me it is worth it to screen callers and give me control over who I talk to and when I talk to them. P.S. I don't pay extra for CallerID myself - it is included in a land line / mobile pkg. -- Internet News My BLOG My Web Page

That doesn't mean customers should not be alerted to the true price versus the actual cost of delivering the service. The reason companies get away with charging as much as they do for services like SMS/TXT and caller ID is because consumers don't know the "real costs" of the product - how much it costs to deliver that service/product.

bogey780 join:2004-03-19 Here	reply to factchecker The thing is it's all part of the business model. Costs themselves are nebulous. A businessman just looks at total resources and how much he could make selling them off. If we paid the true cost of Caller ID, dod you think we'd pay the same in other fields?
