Telco economics are exceedingly complicated. Most billing systems are on average 13% inaccurate – in most cases this is on the customer side – customers are not charged for about 13% of calls. I know you will not believe me, but I can assure you it is true. To complicate matters, infrastructure is a “sunk cost”. Once you have put up a mobile tower, its up. If one caller uses it, or 1 million callers use it, the cost is the same.
