 mrvid join:2007-06-19 Levittown, NY 2 edits | Verizon's big chance to prove competition really works It's going to be interesting to see if Verizon will join the TV rates raising bandwagon. I wouldn't mind but they already charge enough, I feel,for many of the channels & packages they have added.
With the 100 HD channels, they basically packaged them as the Extreme HD package so their making more for that.
With the NHL Center Ice package, they rightfully charge separately for the package as not everyone wants to see all those hockey games.
In a case where the raised price is justified, I can see raising rates, whether its TV, internet or phone but it seems, to me anyway, that they are charging a fair price for all the services they currently offer. Consider too, that if they are fair with their pricing, not only may they win over the FCC & the government, but customers as well. Like the FCC & the government, we just want a fair and reasonable deal for services. |
