I haven't heard any rumors to that effect, but it's not necessarily a far-fetched idea. Demand has been high since right before the 2008 election and world wide commodity prices have gone up quite a bit recently. The price of copper has risen nearly 50% over the past 12 months. At some point the end user is going to have to absorb that increase.
