It's not the religion that causes wars, it's the men who use religion as a means to control people that do.

I totally agree. I don't see how the company can't profit just as much by selling $50 a month plans or any company for that matter. I have actually thought about dropping cellular service all together. It is not that $80 a month is too expensive for me I just think the service is too restrictive for the price of $80 a month.
I really like the concept behind the Google Phone but just bought an HTC touch so I won't be considering one anytime soon.

Agreed...its weird how "landline phones" go down in cost every year for their plans and cell phones rise. I'm not talking in terms of all the extra features making your bill outrageous, im talking in terms of just regular service on a decent plan.

The towers do cost the companies money but only if they are put on private property. Also if a cell company owns a tower it charges other companies money for their use. Many cellular receivers are attached to existing structures anyways so I don't think tower costs are putting a real big dent on phone company profits.
Simply put, profits go towards dividends for the investors and 7 figure salaries for executives.
To maximize profits cell companies don't look for new customers, they squeeze the ones they have for as much as they can. That is why they get you into a 2 year contract and charge you money if you are disgusted enough to break the contract early.
Now that most of the public is used to having a phone in the pocket, companies can charge almost anything or do whatever they like and that is exactly what I believe is going on.
