How about on the web? Would the costs increase there too?

That's something we'd like to have too. The only way to do this is to
actually lower the threshold on the windtalkers, which would drastically
increase the number of messages sent, and would increase our costs (and
therefore the rates we'd have to charge) considerably. The good news is
that our next-generation sensor will use a different transmission technology
and will allow us to hopefully set the thresholds at 0 mph for all sites.
