That is the cruel truth of how ATT, and most carriers, operate. They won't lower the fees for light users, they will only add fees for heavy users. In fact, they would probably add a new fee to light users called "bandwidth usage monitoring recovery fee" to compensate themselves even more for the capability they already have. This fee will, of course, not be counted in the total fee for the remaining 23 months of a contract, just like they do with all the other bogus fees they try to mislabel as some generic 'government tax' like fee.
Decommission the representatives. Then put the mainframe in charge. I'm sure it is much more efficient at processing bribes, though it probably lacks sex scandal capabilities.
Right now Toyota is selling the Prius in the US about as fast as they can make them. Go talk to a dealer now and see what you have to choose from. Chances are you will need to order from the factory. As for showing up on used lots? Yes, I would expect as time passes and more new units are sold into the US, the numbers on used lots would eventually increase.
Nothing you do will guarantee that *every* corporation in the world will do *everything* to your satisfaction, including suing Verizon.
But if you control a company that can afford the financial resources and distraction from your business to go head to head in an extended legal battle with Verizon, then get to it and report back! I'm genuinely interested to hear the results.
I'm sick of this excuse. Voting with your dollar works when your dollar is the only dollar.
It's not an excuse, it's a realization of the grim truth. Reread my post, we agree that it won't change Verizon's actions. It *will* free you individually from the failings of Verizon. That's about as good as it gets these days.
...they need their asses spanked in court, big time.
That's some fine internet tough talk, but realistically the best solution open to the common man is to simply vote with your dollars and leave. Verizon is probably happy enough to let a squeaky wheel out of any time contract, if they really are in violation, knowing that the unwashed masses will not notice these kinds of failings.

Your link and post have a highly biased slant on this issue. Calling another poster ignorant of the subject when making misleading statements yourself is hypocritical.

Your proposal sounds similar to the IBM/Sony cell architecture: one general purpose processor core with a collection of math crunching cores. The enhanced double precision FP in this latest Nvidia chip also maps the progression of cell with the PowerXCell 8i over the original cell processor.

Here is a more factual description of those events.

"I'm sick of seeing elderly folk driving 15-25mph under the limit on the interstates."
You aren't the only one.
"why not it a re-test every 7 years after age 55?"
Because a large percentage of old people are cranky and vote.
"They should also ban passengers in cars..."
Overkill. Just require passengers to wear ball gags.
