Re: Franchise agreements ?

So i guess all those people against franchise agreements did themselves a great service. Now the phone company wants a lower standard. Because it doesnt like you.
I'd like to know how this type of behavior differs from extortion...

Gives us the regulatory climate we want or we will give the subscribers in your state shitty service and a piss poor network (As it falls into disrepair)...

Got to love the ethics, specifically the lack thereof, of these companies.

Because Franchise agreements have service level agreements, thus "comcast must answer the phone by the 3 ring" or "customer will be credited, and full day after the 5th hour of an outage". Thats what a francise does..

Of course, it is how customers maintain some power over the service they receive. But the impression I get is that the big boys in video think the customer should take what they are given and deal with it, even if it is bad service.

It seems like the attitude from back in the days of the first ATT is starting to come back...

"We don't care... We're the phone company (or whatever other company)."
