bad idea..

its a bad idea to cite banks as an example as there have been many colossal failures & bailouts of US banks over the years.. if a cable or telco company failed, it just gets bought out.. ceos of cable & telco alike went to jail for fraud & other violations of law, eventually predatory practices fall back on those who employ them. there are occasional startup banks and community federal credit unions who potentially come to the rescue in some regions and big banks hate that.. you see what happened when walmart wanted to get into banking, how much of an uproar there was to stop that. you forget, just as community federal credit unions & small banks incorporate, so can small pocket fttp builds compete against the likes of comcast & at&t right in the heart of their most profitable territories.. so those practices will have a reckoning sooner or later.

Bad idea for whom - If you are responding to my particular statements referenced above, I was pointing out that the practice of nickel/diming is not limited to any given institution regardless of which one is bailed out or not. Industry ::GREED:: is not exclusive to any given facet of the market.
