| The disease is monopolistic thinking.  People are ditching their landlines because of telephone companies Bell Headed management that suffers from monopolistic thinking. Telephone companies would rather loose customers than reduce rates. If teleco wasn't so stubborn and provided better value, customers would continue to retain their land line service. Unfortunately teleco keeps adding crap charges below the line rather than reducing rates. The government must share the reduction in service costs by reducing or eliminating unfees and taxes such as the CALC charge, which is never quoted when discussing the cost of service with a teleco CSR. The only reason I retain a land line is to be able to send and receive faxes and allow our security system to be monitored. |
| Your exactly right...the telcos are keeping the prices high to get you to DUMP your Landline....First regulation/taxation is the greatest only on POTS. Second and most important they MUST GUARENTEE you service. They just sold you the latest Iphone yet anywhere in that TOS paper did you find " We/att promise you full service without interuption or loss and will refund any loss if 24 hrs expires." The sold you a worthless device basically you got "your on your own" dropped 911 call, "oh, well" no service at your home, "walk outside" on and on....If they lose the rules of service on pots to the wireless world we're F'd. 911, especially enhanced 911 is far better than GPS on your phone which the 911 operator has no access to, the wireless provider does...too bad thats not fast enough in an emergency....just the facts..... |
