re: #35 Gus

I’m suggesting that all these services ought to be priced and bought, not advertised as “free”.

I pay $50 to Cox to provide me services (which includes email). Appropriately, Cox cable never pretends to be “free”.

The costs of Gmail, Facebook, Twitter… are hidden in the prices of the goods and services we buy. I’m just saying that our society would be better off if we stop pretending “free” is really free.
