 Qixotl join:2002-02-08 New Milford, CT | Skewing data On the surface, choosing Beaumont as a test site just looks like an internal stunt to prove to the marketing dept. that customers won't leave AT&T in droves if caps are put in place. It is not like people are going to get better service from 5MB-40MB capped Time Warner. I am sure that this is being orated as just a quick glimpse into the future when everyone is capped, but it does feel a bit more devious.
I feel very sorry for the residents of Beaumont, TX. They are getting the snot beat out of them for no clear reason. |
 | That is why both Reno and Beaumont has to send a clear message to AT&T. Yes if you do this, we will leave.
Metered billing is like handling a virus plague. You have to stop it at the source, before it spreads. And yes if nothing is done, it will spread slowly, surely, and become "norm". |
