FCC Inquires About Controversial Verizon Fees

olsmeister writes "As previously noted here on Slashdot, Verizon Wireless has been increasing their early termination fees and actively charging non-data customers who accidentally press the wrong button and go online. The FCC has now sent them a letter asking why. The PDF of the letter can be viewed online. Maybe someone at the FCC does read Slashdot."

indeed. history is written by the victors and that becomes an accepted reality, the rationale comes _afterwards_. Capitalism differs from Feudalism only in symbol and myth. Both are violent exploitation, yet even the lowliest serfs defend it. It is popular to say "it's a lousy system, except for all the others" never realizing the self-hypnosis at work. You get up each day and perpetuate your own exploitation, you might even join an army and fight to the death for it. A curious thing. Better arrangements are obvious, and usually successful until violently suppressed.
