But it doesn't specify that it has to work.

The bit about only sharing the information with business partners is a riot. Them selling your information constitutes a business relationship.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22044690 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:16:09 EDT Re: LMAO! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22043947 anon :

"Public shame will keep them honest"?

That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while. Since when do these companies get ruled by shame? They're shameless!
Heh, right about that. Serious I think that public shame is the one thing that keeps them going, what gets their nuts off, but most definitely never did nor ever does indeed keep them honest. :P

Privacy no longer exists
Actually, only those who have NO internet connection and NO cell phone.... can still have some privacy these days. No one will be able to find anything on my grandma. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22043605 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 01:19:06 EDT Re: LMAO! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22043428 lordofwhee : Where have YOU been the past six months?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22043428 Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:20:30 EDT Re: LMAO! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22042822 Its a Secret : It's only shameful if you get caught. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22042822 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 22:01:01 EDT Re: LMAO! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22042779 bus7821 :

Wasn't "public shame" supposed to keep banks and the stock market honest, too?
In the case of the banks, good business practices would have have been sufficient, but the higher ups got caught up in the speculative bubble and started gambling with the money they were responsible for. When you ignore or misuse your own risk calculations, you are caught in a gambling fever that overrides lesser emotions, like shame.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22042779 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 21:50:55 EDT Re: LMAO! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22042710 patcat88 :

Seriously. Didn't Verizon promise Pennsylvania a statewide fiber network a decade or so ago in exchange for preferential treatment regarding regulations... and then subsequently stiff the state once it got what it wanted?

People feel shame. Corporations feel nothing.
Yes! They did!
Here we are years down the road and much of PA is still sitting on their thumbs.
No one wants to remember the shady side of VZ.
