The land of free corporations
In a country like ours, the only real power is the dollar. If we really want to change Comcast's new business model, we have to organize a consumer strike. We can give them two weeks to check themselves, and if they don't, we cancel our subscriptions.
We will have to get as many people as we can to commit, not just sign on, but actually follow through. Corporations exist for the sole purpose of making money, as much as possible. It's the first thing you learn in economics, greed is the basis for all economic decisions. If they realize they will loose more money in lost subscribers than they gain from Level 3, we will win. If they succeed with Level 3, it will be the tip of the iceberg. At what Comcast charges for their service, they just increased the rate by 50 percent here to over 60 for entry level cable internet, the legal term is extortion.
If no one else is willing to cancel their cable subscriptions, then I guess we as consumers deserve what we are paying for. How many people are REALLY concerned about this?
