They are playing the wait and see game. If they see the Cable cos being successful they will follow.
With the rise of 4G wireless, the wired cable cos may find this tactic blow up in their faces, except for dual companies like Verizon.
Verizon Wireless now theres a gaggle of billing crooks, and I work for them
.20 per text message coming or going please! The rise of texting and the fall of voice calling has lightened the load on the network. Texting is less of a strain on the system than voice calling, but the texting price per message has doubled the last few years, coinciding with the rise in text messaging. Pure money grab that's all.
I'm a firm believer in the feds regulating subsidizing and perhaps nationalizing the internet infrastructure to avoid this kind of crap.
Yup, I hear the FIOS service is a blast though, but it pisses me off to see something that costs near nothing get billed so high. Why can't it be illegal to do such things?
