Re: hmmm
said by Thaler  :Tech support is a service. Paying/receiving bills is an incorporated "cost" of doing business. Its a good point you're trying to make, but you're comparing apples to oranges here. Perhaps, but everything Internet needs some sort of tech support. More direct services (ISP, VoIP, etc) vs high touch content (Amazon, E*Trade) or even ad revenue based forums (Digg, BBR, etc).
Some have a phone system due to a close customer relationship (Broadband, E*Trade) and some choose to have a cheaper email based interface like Google, ad supported BBR, etc. The later have cheaper costs due to the lower support costs. Basic business decisions.
