Is there anything in the world more expensive than internet poker?

Not that I am any fan of paying a rake, but I think Party, Stars, FullTilt, etc are entitled to make money off their site. The money it takes to develop their software, maintain their servers, customer service assistance, payroll, etc is substantial. Are they still getting very wealthy off of it? I am sure they are. Its like any brand new industry. Those in it at the beginning have a chance to make a killing. Once everyone gets involved it gets less profitable but still a good amount for a smart business person. They provide us a service. No one would argue that they should not be compenstated for it. The question then becomes if the level of compensation is too high or not? I feel that I can take my money elsewhere if the answer to that question is yes
