Now you tell me.

My conceptual problem was back then I couldn’t imagine people paying a monthly fee to access the Internet.

Apparently Americans have A LOT of disposable income.

If there is one thing I've learned it's never under estimate how frivolous people are with their money.

Its a little deeper than that:

Never underestimate how willing other people are to spend money on things that you consider frivolous.

The trap is to accidentally consider your values as universals. You haven't known obsession until you've hung out with some model railroad guys.
