"BT is also planning a 250k product as an entry-level service. Trials are expected to begin in June. At ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£12.25 a month, the wholesale cost of the 250k service is less than a quid cheaper than the wholesale cost of BT's 500k service. "

However, I am not sure why the 2mg is so expensive - "wholesale cost of the service has been set at ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£38 a month".
Actaully, I do know. It is profiteering on BTÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¢ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚Â ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢s part. I suppose they think the 2mg service is brand new, a bit of a luxury, so they can get away with huge profit margins on it.
