<div>Well put! I could not agree more.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is expensive to use wireless internet connection over the mobile network. I understand the reasons and the providers. They have several reasons for the high prices:</div>
<div> - The network is not designed for so much traffic and will break down if everybody look at youtube videos from their mobile phone.</div>
<div> - Here (in Norway) it is not so many people per square meter, which means it is very expensive to upgrade the network</div>
<div> - Why upgrade to a bad technology now, when nobody wants it in a few years?</div>
<div> - If they do an upgrade, their general rule is that they should be able to earn in the money within 3 years (really not so strange)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here we pay about 4 USD per MB after we used up the 20MB we get each month (that we payed 60 monthly USD for).</div>
<div>We can get a "unlimited" (only limited by the speed of 380kb/s) for 100 USD/month.</div>
<div>To compare, 100Mb/s sync fiber (unlimitedd, and with IP phone, static public IP and IPTV) to the house cost around 80 USD/month but is not available all places.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, my conclusion is that Internet access over the mobile network is practical when you really need to check something and you are far away from a landline. For everything else, wifi has come to stay.</div>
