| Few people bother to truly understand the issue. If they did, they would realized that eventually they will be paying for the "free" service. There is no such thing as "FREE", somebody pays, somewhere along the line. As a nation, we need to get away from this "free" (cost nothing)mentality.
I am no fan of big telco, but you have to accept that they are in business to make money - like everyone else. When they start to lose money, they will either cut back on the service (no more Unlimited) or jack up the rates. And of course everyone will start howling were that to happen. Would you suddenly start paying $500 a month for a service for which you had been paying $50? Bet you wouldn't! Same with Qwest and ATT. Networks cost billions to build and maintain, not the few thousand these investors/freeloaders put up to start their "free" service. I don't recall hearing any of these "free" service providers kicking in a few bucks for US network integrity; heck, some are even offshore companies.
It's a take and run game....they did the taking for awhile, now it's time to run and find a new angle...and they will, freeloaders are like that. |
