Complain all you want about their prices, but they're not evil overlords raking in all of the money, not the way you're making them out to be. The truth of the matter is they need to charge these kinds of prices, not just to stay competitive, but to stay afloat and actually be able to invest back in the network.

The profitability of the company is a very recent thing indeed.

EDIT: I trust my above comment to be purely factual in nature.
