Re: The only online benefit of selling this data

How about I just pay them $2.00 more a month and they just leave my Internet connection the Hell alone?

They can earn more money the old fashion way. They can charge more.

It's not like the have any positive talking points when compared to their competitors in my area except for two things.

1. They know how to install and maintain outside plant.

2. Stability/Reliability

If I had a choice between AT&T selling my browsing habits and paying metered fees, I choose sell the browsing habits. I really couldn't care less that some ad agency knows that I'm a geek.

And although I *HATE* the idea, one could make the argument that if AT&T makes more money, they have more money for upgrades.
continuing with that logic, everyone should pay $50 more per month because it will allow AT&T to have more money for upgrades.

Sadly, a large chunk of that money will end up in the "christmas bonus" for the CEO.
