Lets face it.....

Consumers in EVERY market are becoming fed up with being strong-armed by these industries to purchase enhanced services that are strategically designed to make people spend more money. It all stems from the desire to appease stockholders greed, rather than offering truly competitive services, and return some value to the customer. This is true for wireless services, telephone, broadband, broadcast services, the list goes on and one. Guess what corporations, people are starting to really feel the pinch, and won't take it forever.

Ah well... This will be interesting..

Now that people know businesses are strategizing to get their money do you think they'll stop spending? No.

Isn't that what a business is? A concept to get money.

People think they need cable television and that they need cell phones and expensive clothes, etc...

No one is being strong armed. People just can't stop spending.

Have we all forgotten that cable is a “LUXUARY” service?

Actually the reason there are PEG access channels and "must carry", etc. is because at it's most basic level it is considered essential communications rather than a luxury.

For those PEG access channels. Everything else is still a luxury and always will be.
