That is what it comes down to in terms of sending/receiving/distributing messages. The processing time, disk space allocation and bandwidth of the providers network are all costly. When we send messages (such as this one) there are overhead costs involved in 'handling and shipping' to put it in layman's terms. Who is to provide the resources (money) to permit this to be accomplished? Each message is taking up resources that someone has to pay for with hard coin. The longer the message to more hard coin required. Enough said..... Thanks to the folks at UT for putting up with us for these many years!!!
