the BBC is reporting: The £22.47bn windfall is equivalent to £400 per person in the UK. Now this includes every living person, rich or poor, young or old. About $600 each in dollars.

How much can they make off us? Can the carriers ever repay the debt? Or do we have another world-wide Savings and Loan scandal/debacle?
