| hiding behind facts the companies hide their true costs of infrastructure and providing service, then they demand monopoly power over captive markets, then they lock out 3rd party & municipal competition through the legal system & lobbying & fake astroturf groups, etc, then they create all kinds of scarcity of product to increase pricing and find this or that excuse to raise pricing (right out of the oil/gasoline business play book)
the product should be dirt cheap and getting cheaper to provide service each year, instead, they create these protectionist schemes to find ways to deny service deployments and to punish consumers by raising prices and offering worse year over year terms of service.
sooner or later there will be a reckoning coming for the telco and cableco broadband industry.. perhaps even regulation of pricing & banning the practice of billing by the byte, even for wireless data (domestic). |
