"John F. Mitchell, vice president and general manager of Motorola's communications division, estimated that with volume useage the monthly rates might be reduced to the $10 to $12‐a‐month level within 20 years."
I'm sure Mr. Mitchell is long dead, and 50+ years later, rates that low never happened.
