| And is that wrong? The government has more than overstepped its boundaries. It's involved in so many aspects of technology that it doesn't need to be. Why the hell is the government making laws regarding ETF's with cell phone carriers? I'm pretty sure I read something about a law in one state where they have to prorate it. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't like what the company has to offer as far as contracts go, just don't use them. Better yet, go the no-contract route, seeing as people are too incompetent to honor a simple cell phone agreement these days. -- Charter 5M | Windows XP MCE SP2 | Mobile AMD Athlon 64 4000+ | 1.5GB RAM | ATI Mobile Radeon X600 128MB | 120GB HDD |

| I'd like to be on your side on this, really...I think government has better things to do like education, infrastructure etc. to worry about....but the pendulum has swung too far in the favor of corporations and an urgent re-balancing of the power is needed in the consumer's favor. The free market only works if it's truly free, not rigged to favor a few. -- »PropertyMaps.com - Real-time, map based, nationwide MLS property search! |

As far as I'm concerned, if you don't like what the company has to offer as far as contracts go, just don't use them. The ONLY reason I will dis-agree with you on this one is that these carriers operate at the pleasure of the general public who in fact own those air waves they use. We the people have a right to dictate how the open airwaves are going to be used. This is one exception where I agree with better handling of regulations. These fees are damn near bordering on usury. In my opinion, they need to go after the bell system who is slowly adding ETF on to standard telephone services as well. (ala Qwest)
I, for one, do stand for less government. I never understood why so many republicans stand up and say they dislike government and then spend so much time and money running to get into it.. and stay, only making it bigger. -- "Complaining is the least path of resistance for the self-serving, the lazy, and Im told its a womans prerogative..." |
