Default Wobbly Oystercard charges

From my time in the mobile phone industry, the charging scheme tends to
be built around what the billing system will allow you to do. So having
different "consumption rates" of bundled minute is probably not
something they can cope with - otherwise it would probably have been
done by now.


Hmmph. From *my* time in the phone industry (admittedly this was mostly
wholesale, with some landlines) the billing system can be very flexible
indeed.

Perhaps they should write some better billing software.
