Glynn Bird from the UK, on his blog The Ape, compares the price of text messaging with e-mail. Enlightening. [via digg]

"For the mathematically minded, in units of pence per byte: SMS = (12/160) = 0.075 p/B, Broadband (2699/40000000000)=0.00000675 p/B, i.e. sending an SMS is nearly 12000 times more expensive than sending an email message using your broadband connection. "
