[QUOTE="MaverickWellington, post: 7732447, member: 437007"] My ass-backwards southern state has 11 service providers in my city alone, only 2 of which belong to AT&T -- the rest are all smaller companies, sans one, which is just Comcast's XFinity service. If one company starts acting dumb, another could so capitalize on it by *not* being dumb. It's economics 101. If I knew how to word it in google I guarantee you I could get over a thousand examples of it happening in corporate/economic history. Squeezing extra money out of people and pissing them off vs not suckling them for money when other ISPs do, and thus bringing a great amount of people to you. Obviously the second one will garner more income. Others will look at this success and go "oh, okay, don't be (shitty ISP) here, be (good ISP) here." Quit focusing on the "all corporations wanna do is just treat you like shit for money" meme. Yes, they're out to make money, but they aren't out to commit economic suicide. "There's no competition anymore!" Yeah uh, no shit? Because the current rules regulate smaller ISPs significantly harder than they regulate the much larger ISPs, who half the time just break the rules anyways. Maybe if you had read the proposal instead of reddit you'd see the FCC plans to give the FTC the jurisdiction to tell ISPs "hey, fuck off, you're trying to run a monopoly here and we're not having it." But at least you got to post a south park meme, surely you're lmaoing your butts in the floor right now from that one. [/QUOTE]
