Re: Firepower of this fully armed and operational Battle Station

said by KrK See Profile :

This is a bad business idea, IMHO. AT&T is thinking of the future already: The future where they have VERY LOW caps and MEGA HIGH overage charges to protect their monopoly type services.

They think by shutting down CV they will force users into more expensive, AT&T plans.... but at this stage, it's jumping the gun, because they are *actually* getting people to leave for competitor's third party VOIP, and that's a bad business move!

But they have plans, oh yes. The Deathstar is under construction. They figure soon will come a time when low gigabyte caps and high overage charges will mean third party VOIP will not be nearly as attractive.... and even if you stay with a third party, AT&T can still make bank by charging you metered billing for the bandwidth.

Problem is, they moved early. The battle station isn't quite operational just yet.

Why yes, why save people 20.00 a month? They realized why should we make a customer out of someone who has broadband and wants to save a few bucks. We can discontinue it and bend over everyone on our new Ushit service.
