| Disagree with the "they make enough $ already" argument Good editorial and I agree with most of the points except:
...he'd see that carriers are making remarkable profits off of the flat-rate broadband billing model -- not even mentioning the money made from added services, a litany of fees, and advertisements. The argument that modern ISPs don't "earn a profit" is intentionally obnoxious.
Its delicately worded and not wrong, but that quote implies that companies should be satisfied with their current profitability, which would never happen. Taking that argument to an extreme would be suggesting that companies should stop billing for the year after they reach a certain level of profitability.
Of course we should be cynical of any company's professed altruistic motives. |
