TSellers on New Speakout Data Plan

I'm a seasonal worker. For 6 months my employer gives me a SIM with unlimited data, and a policy that allows for reasonable personal use. The other 6, I use my SO SIM and subscribe to the data.

With the latter, if I use Google Maps to help me get around when I go to the city, use the internet to look a few things up, and check my IP Cam's while I'm away, it seems like I can I can burn up my SO Data in an afternoon. $.10/MB

My employer, on the same network, pays $.01/MB to Rogers.

If you use a satellite, you pay $6.90/GB (Xplornet residential rates). On the SO network, I think that same data equates to $100.00/GB. One would think that it costs the provider a lot more to send data via a satellite than a cell tower, so why is does it cost almost 15 times more to use your phone for data than a satellite?

Of course not all Sat Data is so economical. I just acquired and InReach device. On that it costs about $.80 cents to send or receive a 160 character text message.
