Sprint Begins Punishing Customers For FCC's Net Neutrality Rules

ourlovecanlastforeve writes: A few days ago Sprint announced their intent to stop throttling certain customers' bandwidth in the wake of the FCC fining ATT $100,000,000 for doing the same. Sprint has now begun circulating an internal memo to their front-line reps that the 12-month warranty on non-branded accessories, a featured selling point, will be eliminated. Additional rumors are emerging that Sprint may increase prices on unlimited data plans and stop offering wireline long distance service.

This is why we have to turn them into public utilities and abolish all exclusive franchising.

Having just spent 7 hours driving through public highways, I can't wait for the Internet to become similarly mismanaged.

But I do admire the strength of your belief in the Collective's power to defeat the basic laws of the universe (such as TNSTAAFL)... I mean, you personally belong on a lamp-post with your Che Guevara T-shirt stuffed into your mouth, but the solidity of your convictions is still enviable. The 100 years of Socialism's failure means nothing to you.
