It's BS. They are cooking the numbers because of technological progress. I've seen TVs -90% before, but -98% takes the cake. -90% means they used to cost 10x as much. Ok since flat panel HDTVs used to cost $3,000 back then. -98% means they used to cost 50x, so $15,000? No, back in 2000 most people bought SDTV CRT units for $400.
I'm sure there is something similar going on with cellphone services and computer software.
