In doing the engineering planning for a product that uses wireless communication, that company will use Bill Gates as the epitome of their projected customer base?
Heck, I dont get your point whether it is serious or not.
What does equal wealth distribution have to do with scarcity and price? Unequal wealth distribution might limit how high a price might go, but I dont think it negates the point.
It is entirely possible that I am wrong, and this is conjecture based on things I heard. I used to work at a company that did a blackberry app. I did not work in the group doing the Blackberry client ( we did an app for the old blackberries, not the same as the email client they come with natively ), nor the server side, but I did work with them. My understanding is that the network that the blackberry traffic was going over was very limited in bandwidth. That team was having to be very stingy in how they used any bandwidth. Given that, and all the engineering that blackberry must have put in to get things running well over that net, having unlimited wireless will likely make their offering look a bit stark by comparision. I doubt they want to invest in a high bandwidth offering, they likely want to keep the playing field confined to their speciality.
Except that they wont stop peering over this. They would be cutting themselves off from the customers on the other side of that peering relationship, and some of their customers will be making angry phone calls about why they can only get to google, and not to amazon, or microsoft, or.... ( pulling examples from my hat, they may not be good ones, but I think the point it made ).
And in a short while, they will be answering to the stockholders about why they are losing business.
The Bismarck was welded as well. I cant find a reference for it, but I seem to recall something about the rudder problems at her end being made worse by welding problems.

Then I guess we will have to agree to agree.

( no,I didnt misspell. )
I am a craigslist user, and I dont want ads, so
where is the hypocracy?
You could do like Craig did, but with your model
as above and see how it works.
And the next year?
It is flamebait because someone disagreed with you.
Someone with mod points.

If this is a joke, I am in need of explaination.

Or am I too tired?
If it is limited, then wont it be scarce? And wont that
scarcity lead naturaly to higher prices, driving people
to be frugal with it?

But they do make an indirect profit from the customers
that pay them to connect to the internet, and not to
*just* their network. Network effect.
Dear Rest of the World.
We are stuffed, but we have room for one more wafer thin law.
Burp.

A: There has been no debate on this subject.
B: The moral and intellectual honesty issue is not
limited to one party, it is intellectually dishonest
for you to frame it this way, in my opinion.
Because that is her cup size?
One minor point we forgot to tell you....
We have to start with your mother's children first.
So sorry.
I am sure that they get it.
They are after money, and not allowing minor
things like honesty and ethics to get in the
way.

Is the head of an organization not responsible for the
correct functioning of that organization?
And if the organization does not function, who should
be held most responsible?

Profit! Is when the execs as SCO get hired on at Microsoft,
after the case is concluded.
Slashdot is the same as it ever was.
I think someone messed up your last eye firmware upgrade.
Just give it a good old fashioned slashdotting....
What makes it front page news is that we only have a front page.
Move elsewhere?

I dont know about the Electra, but the Comet had a real problem.
I would imagine it would be very correctable, but they didnt
catch the problem before at least one plane crashed.
Of course, bad press might have maid it hard to have time to do the
correction.
What guy? No one can find him anywhere.
No records... Hmmm.
Mythical like the man month, dude.
