Re: High Quality versus Low Quality said by sonicmerlin:Allow me to explain to you what should be most obvious. Companies have no real rights. Their owners do. And your perspective would deprive the owners of their rights. Your perspective is indefensible.
said by sonicmerlin:There is nothing `reasonable` or `unreasonable` about what consumers expect from them. That's ridiculous. You're simply trying to rationalize bad behavior by consumers by trying to avoid the reality that business is always a two way street: Consumers motivate companies to provide them what they want. That's the way of the world.
said by sonicmerlin:The other aspect of this argument is that Verizon is an extremely, incredibly profitable company. They`re making billions in profits every year But not on the things you want them to spend money on. Let the market determine what is important to invest in by what the market is willing to pay for. If the money isn't there to support the service, then either let the company decommission the service or accept that the service level will vary to match the extent to which consumers are willing to pay for good service. |
