supply and demand. its just human nature

University WiFi is free, I don't need to pay for electricity, I don't bother with TV (although there is one, licence paid, in the common living area), and my mobile costs 15 pounds a month for unlimited data. Not that much, really... which is a very good thing.

Yeah, but our phone bill was astronomical because if you called anywhere outside your area they charged an arm and a leg. It’s waaaaay better now. I still remember my grandmother coming up and hanging up the phone while I was talking to my sister in another state. I got mad and she showed me the phone bill. It was nearly $300. This was in the early 80s. That was much more money than it is now.

I gave up on land lines 10 years ago.i only have wifi and a phone.60 dollars a month

Time for an off-grid experience.
