A very good analogy to the cable TV companies.
Around here, Cox Cable had a monopoly on broadband
internet and :
1. Forced customers to subscribe to their crappy cable
TV to get broadband (which they lyingly advertised
as "digital", even though all but the premium channels
were analog, though transmitted to customers digitally,
ghosts, static and all)
2. Raised rates repeatedly.
3. Took away channels.
Then DSL came along and all of a sudden, Cox couldn't
be nicer. Too little, too late for them. Some day, NF
will get their's.
My pet peeve is lying advertisers. If I were Supreme
Commander of the United States, the first thing I would
do is crack down on false advertising:
Pictures of food that look like gourmet meals when the
stuff inside the package looks like wet cardboard?
Hang 'em!!
Promising 1-day delivery and taking 3-4 days?
Off with their heads!!
