Think you pay too much for technology?
You are not alone. Man y people are getting increasingly concerned about the price of goods and services that are becoming ever-more popular by the day. Engadget has a great post and comments about this [I got the idea from them] and it really hits home after I did the math for my own services: some that I use on a daily basis and some almost never.
Here is my monthly cost breakdown [this does not even include other services such as TIVO, XM radio, AOL, and a few others that I am in the process of cancelling]
Cellphone - T-mobile: 600 mins/$39.99 + Data/$20 + Wap/$4.99 + Insurance/$3.85 = $68.83
Local phone - SBC: basic/$20 + long distance/??? = ~$20.00
Cable: basic/$29.99 + digital/$20 + HBO/$29.99 + HDTV/$5 + Receivers/$12.99 = $97.97
Cable Internet - Comast: Hi-Speed/$54.99 = $54.99
Monthly Total: $241.79 + tax (8.25%) = $261.74
Yearly Total: $3140.88 --> YIKES!!! Time to cut down.
