Re: Old Story, new Technology
So, let's have the government take over this, run it at a break even and just remove the ability for companies to generate profits all together. Where do you get the right to say what the service is worth? You have options, take them!
Rather, what I hear is "becuse Vonage does it, I want SBC to do it too!" You are a price leach then! Support Vonage and like like if you want that price. Don't expect because Voip provider are pricing in your range that SBD has to or must. With out customers, the whole competition idea is moot as the competition will go out of business. You want OTHERS to support cheaper VOIP so you can have cheaper service. Put your money where your complaint is.
This is REALLY silly.
There are several people who with no idea how business runs. Seriously, you can easily identify yourself by not looking at simple reason being offered you by those WTIH a clue.
You have answered your own question. You want free caller ID? Go to one that provides, or "bundles" it in the cost of service. Those services also don't have thousands of miles of plant to maintain, they don't have thousands of employees, brick and mortar costs, you name it. Yes I think the cost is relative to the service.
I sugges you go to vonage or others like you said who give it away. You also get service that is WORTH the $14/$24 fee you pay. Service that has NO SLA to be available 99.99% of the time, the quality, and all the service available to you when something goes wrong.
Vonage and other services have few employees and some servers to operate - that's it! They don't even have to provide the transport, cable or telephone providers do with broadband. |
