Bit weird you're asking personal questions, but i'll humour you - I'm more than qualified to comment on the matter. I'm not asking for "free hand outs" - I'm asking for a review of the costs. You talk about Business 101 - this falls under basic school economics. If you read my post you'd see i've asked about research they've undertaken and such like - the very fact people went through the cheaper route is an indication that the initial price of circa 40 USD wasn't affordable to many - this appears to be supported by comments on here where whole countries feel isolated.
They need a price which is viewed as reasonable by their customers - I presume you're someone who's clued up on pricing principles - It's basic practice. Price out whole countries and you'll be on a downward turn fairly soon in this industry - especially when people used the funds in other countries. There's also people who didn't buy funds due to the costs of them - If they lowered to say $20 USD they could actually find they have a larger customer base.
