Anyone remember paying ten cents or honestly usually more per text until someone did out the numbers and we all realized we were paying more to text than NASA pays to beam data back from the goddamn Hubble? Like 5x as much on average? And only then did unlimited texting become common?
Best part was that SMS was specifically designed to use the current infrastructure at the time without inducing any real demand on it. It didn’t cost the companies much of anything to implement it.
