Re: Help... Businesses should be prevented from harming their customers or treating their customers unequally.
For example, if Verizon wanted to record all landline calls and make some money selling the contents of your conversations, we can say this is unfair and Verizon should be prevented from making money in this way.
Also, if Verizon wanted to block certain phone numbers on the other side of the country, if they did not pay to receive calls from New York for example, we can say that it is unfair; Verizon customers in New York should be able to call anyone in the country.
Furthermore, if Verizon degrades the signal quality of all calls to California, this is not right. Or maybe phone calls to Pizza Hut, because Dominoes is paying Verizon to have better phone quality among pizza restaurants.
I think requiring neutrality on communications, as much as possible, is a good thing. |

Chesterfield, MO | If genuine competition exists and NY customers who need to call California can take their business elsewhere for similar quality and cost without the shenanigans, I say let them do what they want and lose business. If customers cannot do this then I agree, a minimum service definition is warranted to protect consumers. |
