If you take your car to get fixed and the mechanic screws you, you don't go back.
If a painter comes and paints the wrong wall, you don't pay.
If you eat at a restaurant and the food sucks, you don't go back.
I don't see how this is any different than bad service or a bad product anywhere else.
Just Go elsewhere! This seems hardly worthy of such public discussion.
As his employee you're not in the position to do the convincing. If they're heart set on doing it, then there is nothing you can or should do, outside of finding another job.
People hate telemarketers, but even the biggest best companies telemarket--because it works.
If you were a telecom tech, do you think you could make a case to refuse to install the phones just because YOU don't believe in telemarketing?
Everyone is so concerned with the technical details about what will happen once the bandwidth is cut off. It doesn't matter because they'll never get to that point. No reasonable invenstor is going to shove enough money into this to make it dooable because noone will use it. Aside from a bunch of people trying to escape the law and whatever jurisdiction they're in, there is no way this will ever gain critical mass (if it ever gets started). Assuming that most people that need such security (outside of criminals) are large corporations, No corporation would want to be associated with a place like this Who is going to insure them? And couldn't that be stopped just easily as bandwidth. I doubt any huge corporation is going to be satisified with a bunch of VA servers. I mean they're good for a lot, but not for everything. And what happens once the US says no trade with them...and the UK and everyone else. No computers? I'm emberassed myself that i've even given this concept this much thought as it's totally unfeasible and will NEVER happen.
