The same company that is currently advertising what good fellows they are for allowing voice talk for everyone at 5 1/2 pence per hour are charging one hundred times and more for WiFi access?? I don't understand why one is over a hundred times more expensive than the other.

Surely the voice network's running and maintenance costs must be similar to that of a WiFi network. As a consumer, I get pretty tired of companies charging what they like "because they can". What was it that Bill Clinton said of his dalliance with Ms Lewinsky? "I did it for the most morally indefensible of reasons - because I could."

For some reason, I now have an irresistible urge for a cigar....
