why are cell phones expensive

why are cell phone contracts so expensive?

it seems ridiculous that a cell contract can cost up to 100 bucks a month, when other services, like a land line phone, cable tv, internet, are all so much cheaper. is there a reason for this, or are cell companies just taking advantage of the fact that people today have to have a cell?

my phone bill is $42 a month
