They must charge more than we do and/or have much lower upstream costs.
Our company margin is only in the 12 to 15%. If I paid 10% of revenue on a
tower plus the other stuff I'd be working for free!
Our average bill to the customer is only $37.5. Our upstream internet
access ranges from $43 to $250 (not a typo) per mb/s.
