| Folks can't buy something that you refuse to sell to them ... ...Verizon's strategy is to refuse to sell DSL to millions of their lower-ROI customers, and use them as hostage "bait" to push for USF-like subsidies in D.C. Or so it has been reported by dslprime.com. Apparently they've computed if they can squeeze a new cash cow revenue stream out of the government, it'll be worth it in the long run to forego the revenue from these subscribers for the time being. Maybe a smart thing for VZ shareholders. It just sucks being one of these subscribers, and eventually a taxpayer, once the VZ lobbyists work their magic. |
