Interesting perspective from a forum post that I read somewhere t’other day: someone (presumably someone growing up since the ubiquity of mobile phones) who saw landlines as a premium service (because the company had to “put all the wires in” to the house) and mobile service as the basic service (because you just issue someone with a handset and then you are done with it), and didn’t understand why the mobile service was the more expensive one. I wonder how much this is true: is mobile only a premium-price service because historically it was, or is it still more expensive to maintain and run the mobile infrastructure?
