- Telecom Australia quote prices of $A360 (~ $US252) to install a BRI, and
- $A76 per month (~ $US53) rent. The cost of calls are time and distance
- dependent. When Telecom set these prices it had a monopoly in Australia. They
- *seem* to compare well with the prices you quote, but it depends on the call
- price structure.
