Talk to someone in the mobile industry and they'll brush this off as "not being afraid to charge for value", or at least that's how someone like Russell Beattie describes it.

Which "value" is he referring to? It seems more like they charge this much because consumers lack better options than to put up with it.

I'm just wondering what he'd say. It's a very poor rationalization if he can't even answer that basic question.
