And quite apart from that, you have to factor other costs in like labour, overheads, etc.

You're not one of these people who sees a tin of beans in a supermarket for 50p, finds out that the cost of the ingredients is 5p, and then assumes the supermarket is making 45p profit? Because business isn't that simple.
Yes I do seriously believe that they make obscene profits from that tarif (I did just post that didn't I?).

And, no, I'm not one of these people who sees a tin of beans in a supermarket for 50p, finds out that the cost of the ingredients is 5p, and then assumes the supermarket is making 45p profit.

If they can't make a profit from the 1gb service they really shouldn't still be in business.
