Re: Less talk, more action If you aren't arguing for total deregulation, then you should support the banning of price gouging. We do it with gas stations. Because that is what 1 dollar a gb is, price gouging.
Yes we should open up places to more competition, but that is not what is being argued here. That telco probably has a long standing contract that just cannot be broken. We are arguing about if it's ok to charge 1 dollar for something that costs 1cent while you are already charging enough to cover all bandwidth costs and fixed costs. This is just a consumption tax/tariff being added to the price of a profitable product to deter competition. This is what regulation should be used to stop. |
