| Re: cost approach Not Taylor... Don't know who that is and don't really care. What most people fail to understand and grasp is that there is power in numbers. People always cry and complain about wanting better options or better prices on stuff, but they fail to understand the simple concepts of banding together to get things changed.
Think about what Verizon would do if everyone stopped using their services for 1 full day, let alone a week and I mean everyone...(I'm sure it would make the news, don't you). That sort of drain on their finances would easily drive them to do whatever the "public" wanted.
Simpler concept... no one pays taxes one year. Do you honestly think everyone would end up in jail? Sure, the core economy would suffer, but that's not the point here. I'm just trying to give you different examples to get the idea across, which you missed with the orginal post. It's like the "no one buy gas on Tuesdays" things you kept seeing go around when prices were high(er). Sure, nice concept, only problem... not EVERYONE will do it, so it's pointless and won't work or get the same point across.
In the end none of these sort of things would happen (on a large scale anyway), because believe it or not the human person simply can't deal without having their material items even for a day. And it's because of this simple fact that the "public" will do the bidding of the "higher ups".... be it government or corporations. | |

| Re: cost approach The thing is this is a little issue in the grand scheme of things. Most wireless users just use their phone to make calls, and most wireless cards use them to access the Internet. This isn't nearly is big a deal as other issues such as rate hikes or convoluted service agreements. Simply put if you are really into downloading video through a service your wireless provider sets up and don't like Verizon's way of going about it simply switch to another carrier who does it the way you want to.
Choose your battles. Don't go running out guns blazing over something that's not worth fighting for. | |
