I wouldn't complain if the femtocell was just $50... Or if they took $5/month off my bill... Or if calls/data/whatever were discounted while using the femtocell...
I had Sprint's airave box for a while. It made for good coverage (there was a hill between the closest sprint tower and my house), but the fact that I paid extra per month just so I could have the box irked me. Then I elected to pay even more per month for the "completely unlimited airtime" option when placing calls through the airave box.
I won't make that mistake again.
Then you didn't compain enough to Sprint Customer Service. I didn't have coverage in my house and was bringing 4 lines from a competing network. I got the AirRave free, waved activation fee, and waved monthly fee for the life of my contract.
A company is fully entitled to make money, that includes being compensated for everything you do. An ebook should be considerably less than a physical book, and usually is. Your thoughts on how this works is only valid if after the capital costs of producing the item are paid for, you see a drastic price drop. Like from 14.99 to 4.99 for an ebook, simply because it is pure profit for the company at that point. A physical book on the other hand you tend not to see such a drastic price drop over time because the cost of producing the book is always there. There are always capital costs associated with it. On digital media that simply isn't the case.
So, either they have a bigger price then drop to a considerably lower price, or smaller price and stable. Over pricing something is the fastest way for it not to be used at all. $15 for an ebook is simply to much simply because you can't read it without having to buy something else to allow it.
" A courtroom is a place to find the truth in a legal or civil dispute.
I call BS on this. The courtrooms in the US have absolutely nothing to do with finding the truth. The truth is irrelevant in US courts. All that is cared about in these courts is what is legal and what is not (or where liability lies). There is no room in what is legal to for truth. If something is true and legal, great. But the laws here actually allow for something to not be true and still be legal. Legality (or liability) is everything.
