At that point I intend to jump ship to TSI. Even if Bell offers to match TSI's $30/month when I utter the magic word "cancel" to Emily, I'll switch on principle. That should make Kevin Crull happy because evidently I'm a "network abuser."

My two-phone contract with Bell Mobility ended this summer. I've since switched to a competitor. That must have made George Cope happy because we were just "low-ARPU customers."

We can't get satellite TV because we don't have line-of-sight to the bird, so all that's left with BCE is barebones POTS. (And by "barebones" I mean pulse dial, no calling features, no long distance.) By the time we find a viable alternative, George Cope will be in the big chair so he'll be happy again because we were merely "low-margin subscribers."

This month and early next year I'll be donating my BCE shares to charity. That will make a lot of people happy.

Early next year, when he gets all those BCE shares for a mere $42.75, Jim Leech will no doubt be happy — assuming, of course, there's anyone left in BCE's customer base to generate the massive cash flows he's going to need to pay back all the debt that he's taken on to do the deal.

Michael Sabia will be happy next year as he yanks the rip cord on his $25M golden parachute. George and Kevin et all will likely also be happy because they'll move up a level on BCE's organization chart.

So in summary, I'd like to take this occasion to publicly thank Michael Sabia for making a very large number of people very happy. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19386990 Mon, 05 Nov 2007 13:41:24 EDT
