By analogy, read the contract. I'm "with ya." The reason people don't read the contract (or bill) is because they're just too damn long with very little (consumer) benefit for doing all that work of reading and understanding. That's why, for the moment anyway, I won't join Twitter or Facebook; it's a waste of time reading their ToS/AUP/privacy policy/etc. for too little gain. I practically go to sleep trying to get through that! And I'm not going to agree to something unless I know what my rights and responsibilities are, and what rights, if any, I'm choosing to give up.
Hopefully the market can respond with some form of competition and choice without government noodling in private businesses. But at the same time, does not the U.S. Constitution 14th Amendment guarantee equal application of law? Why, other than the weak excuses from the FCC, are wireless carriers exempt? (/me ducks and says I also have the same sentiment about these corporations who are seeking waivers of needing to comply with the new US health care laws.)

English is a difficult enough language to interpret correctly when its rules are followed, let alone when a writer chooses not to follow those rules.

14225-2105 | Nothing. When long, quasi-English documents which are typically not read were mentioned, the new health care law and Conyers were the first things that happened to pop into my head.
Do you fail to see the analogy between the length and complexity of the recent US health care legislation and the typical ream of terms to which you're supposedly agreening when you join with a mobile services carrier?
I am, BTW, displeased that representatives did not take the time to read and understand laws which we're supposed to follow, or at least vote "no" until given sufficient time to do so. |
