How can they get away with legally calling this service unlimited, and yet, stating in their docs that it is capped at 5 GB?
I say someone should sue the bejeesus out of Verizon for falsely portraying their product. Wait, they are the one that sue. My bad.:)
First off, the British colonized America, not the
Americans.
If you wish to make the argument that my country is founded on greed, I wish you would do it in English.
Second, this country WAS colonized by the British in order to open new profitable markets. It was the populace that kicked the British out for freedom. Sure they were tired of paying high taxes to the crown, but the average soldier that fought in that revolution included people that were tired of British persecution (i.e religious, cultural, etc.)
I will agree that Big Business in this country is run by greed. That is why the dollar is not worth what it used to be worth and is worth even less compared to other currencies. I will agree that some elements of that greedy philosophy has been injected into our government. That is the impetus of my arguments. It is time for the people of this country to take the country back. This is does not mean Socialism, or Communism, or any other...ism, But it does mean that we need to take control of the country and return to our Democratic/Republic roots before we become sliced up corporate entities. If you don't think we are being carved up by Big Business, then just look where the major donations to your local representative comes from. There is room for competition, profitability, and democracy. But it has to be a democratic representative government that is not financed by Big Business.
What about the Billions of taxpayer dollars that the Bells received in the 90s to upgrade the infrastructure that they still haven't halfway finished? You remember fast access to every doorstep? Well that has only turned out to be limited to major metropolitan areas. I still can only get fast access to my doorstep through my cable company. Bellsouth has yet to provide DSL, and I live in a fairly large city.
No. This is pure greed. Vonage forced the Bells to reduce their pricing before they were ready to compete, so Verizon is just going to sue Vonage out of existence. Vonage was already in dire straits. They will not survive this legal battle and that is what the Bells wanted.
The Bells do have a right to make a profit, but not at the expense of the customer.

Once again Big Business wins and the customer get screwed.

Isn't Democracy wonderful?
