| It stinks, but its their business to trash. Stop and think for a minute. When was the last time you were able to buy a new car without passenger seats? I mean, beyond the driver's seat, no other seating is required to legally drive the car off the lot. Same thing for the radio. You can get a most basic of radios, but a car (didn't say truck) comes at least with a dang AM radio. ANd the glovebox, trunk, etc., etc., etc.
If no one were accepting of the bundled services style of offering from the RBOCs then either everyone is a hypocreite, or the RBOC subscribers are fake. We know that neither of those cases are the situation so some customers exist that want both or at the very least are willing to accept the 'happy telco meal' as is. In fact, more than 2-million Bellsouth customers seem to be that telco's b!tch.
I am right up there with the desire to get my broadband without forced bundled services. But, I am more willing to be that company's b!tch than do without. Furthermore, there isn't anything I can remember that says the RBOCs cannot increase the POTS-less tariffs, is there? And when was the last time any of you bought a Value Meal from McDonalds and got out of the side-item OR drink for a reduced amount? |
