James the need for telecommunication is huge but prices were high now they start to come down to affordable levels.

3 years ago a line was valuated at around $2,500 with electronic equipment of around $800 to $900, now the electronic equipment dropped to 1/3 around $250 to $300 and if optical fiber is used the actual ONE telephone line will drop to around $100. So we have a substantial shrinking in per line cost affordable in all countries but the main problem pressing the telcos now is the service of the debt wen they bought or invested $2500 a line 3 to 5 years ago.

Due the lower investment needs for a new line competition also brought prices down. Therefore it is difficult to reconcile an $2500 investment with an new $350 to $500 investment.

Just take a look at your long distance and international telephone costs they dropped about 60% to 80% over the last 7 to 5 years.
