It is called capitalism, the alternative is call communism. Capitalism with as little government control as possible has proven to work far better then communism.

Once again, and ? Companies making money doesn't mean jack to the people buying their goods and services.

SunRocket didn't make money. When you buy stock do you look for companies that will not put your interests first?

A company that tends to put its investors interests first, tends to have a less than happy customer base.

Unhappy customers tend to take their business else ware. It is a balancing act between investors, employees and customers. The three have different competing goals.

You should stand behind your words and buy all of the Vonage stock you can. It is a bargain at $5.68, the IPO was $17.25

Just think how happy the people are that lost 82% of their money in knowing they helped the consumer.

Deregulation worked just fine for .. MCI,......

said by batterup :

MCI is the company that brought about the breakup of the Bell System.

said by KrK :

Yes, no matter how badly the break up has worked out, at least we can Thank God for MCI.... who knows how far back we'd be if the Bell system was never broken up. I do agree though that we're going to have to bring back some regulation to the system now that AT&T is quickly rebuilding the monopoly... especially as they are extending it into wireless and internet as well.

said by batterup :

As for wireless I have a choice of T-Mobile, at&t, Verizon and others. What are you talking about?

said by batterup :

I live under the spirit of the Bell System and I can see the light.
