    Not really. That's why I mentioned laser printers. Inkjet, I agree
    with you. I don't see anything like those dynamics working in the
    laser printer area.

    Perhaps, perhaps not. But if you look at some of the SOHO laser
    printers and look at the pagecount/$ of those cartridges vs the business
    line of laser printers, there is often a difference.

    Worse, the numbers are even harder to compare because of RET, %
    coverage, draft vs normal defaults which are different in different
    printers.

    I can see something like R-IUM cards come into play one day.
    I can also see a card in a CDMA phone that will hold your ringtones, games, photos ect. Also contain all the things that a SIM card does (All in one card).
    The best provider gives you a plan with the minutes you need at the right price. The coverage that you need to make calls all the time.
