[Python Wpg] Can python save the University $17,000?

[Bill Reid]

Well we are discussing SMS I feel compelled to have my cell phone rant. I was 
very late in getting into cell phones. I got my first phone last summer. Being 
use to the Internet and open networking I was flabbergasted at how archaic and 
complicated everything is with using cell phones. As we have discussed Rogers 
basically lies about free email to SMS. Data is horrendously expensive. 
Documentation is difficult to find. Features in phones are disabled. Deciphering 
rate plans is almost impossible.

Thank god the phone companies were not involved in developing the Internet. :-)

I know it is sort of an apple/orange comparison but the value I get from my $40 
cable connection is huge compared to spending $40 on a cell phone plan. Of 
course I only spend $10/month on my pay as you go phone since I can not justify 
spending any more.

I guess I am showing my age but annual ring tone revenue exceeding a billion 
dollars is incomprehensible.
