USA - SMS answers? costs?

what a great article. After being years behind Europe and Asia, may the US be the first country to get some answers from the industry regarding What an SMS is and WHY it keeps costing more and more to send one.

"All four of the major carriers decided during the last three years to increase the pay-per-use price for messages to 20 cents from 10 cents. The decision could not have come from a dearth of business: the 2.5 trillion sent messages this year, the estimate of the Gartner Group, is up 32 percent from 2007. Gartner expects 3.3 trillion messages to be sent in 2009."

Verizon (vodafone relation) REFUSED to let their answer be made public. Typical asshsole fashion, nothing new there. The others have not given satisfactory responses. And they cant because ripping people of cannot produce a satisfactory answer.

Rip of people! Get answers!
