The Calex Telecommunications Company is planning to introduce cellular telephone service into isolated coastal areas of Caladia, a move which will require considerable investment. However, the only significant economic activity in these areas is small-scale coffee farming, and none of the coffee farmers make enough money to afford the monthly service fees that Calex would have to charge to make a profit. Nevertheless, Calex contends that making the service available to these farmers will be profitable. Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for Calex's contention? (A) Currently, Caladian coffee farmers are forced to sell their coffee to local buyers at whatever price those buyers choose to pay because the farmers are unable to remain in contact with outside buyers who generally offer higher prices. (B) In the coastal areas of Caladia where Calex proposes to introduce cellular telephone service, there is currently no fixed-line telephone service because fixed-line companies do not believe that they could recoup their investment. (C) A cellular telephone company can break even with a considerably smaller number of subscribers than a fixed-line company can, even in areas such as the Caladian coast, where there is no difficult terrain to drive up the costs of installing fixed lines. (D) Calex bases its monthly fees for cellular telephone service in a given region partly on the cost of installing the necessary equipment to provide the service there. (E) Calex has for years made a profit on cellular telephone service in Caladia's capital city, which is not far from the coastal region. 答案是A 我可以理解A的原因 不过B似乎也说得通 因为那边没室内电话 所以手机在那边就会有很大的市场 C我也有考虑 手机公司可以在少量客户的地方生存下来 似乎有点道理 只是我想说Caladia这地方的市场可能真的很小 即使是手机公司也活不下来 其实我选的是E 因为我想说在Caladia附近的环境应该都差不多 他能在附近获利 应该也能在Caladia赚钱 不过我好像犯了自行假设题目的错误 orz 最主要还是B 为什麽B不行 是因为题目根本没提到室话 所以跟室话无关吗 --
