I can tell you arbitration means NOTHING. He signed for the certified letter telling him about the arbitration but simply ignored it. Now we have to get a lawyer and sue him the old fashion way.
So, why the big problem with arbitration. Don't like it, then sue anyway. Of course your chances in court are even less than in arbitration.

So now you are a lawyer?

Explain your position?

Now that you edited your post, care to explain the differences in a 2004 study you posted and the 2007 study posted in this news item.

You say what is the big deal, the process is supposed to be fair and unbiased. When you have the arbitrator getting paid by the corp then it is a big deal. When will people realize that more things i.e. utilities (and yes that includes cable internet and telecom industry) should be nationalized. Anything that becomes an integral part of the social system gets taken over by the society it is serving. There are a few companies controlling all the information telecoms, cable, satellite, paper media, and radio. We should have heavy regulation at least.

Sure, but if the companies had their way you'd be barred from suing. I guess for once you're in agreement with consumer advocates and in disagreement with the companies that are trying to take away the right to sue?

Can't take it to a lawyer the contract for arbitration with the company has you sign/agree to is that the only recourse is the arbitration and prohibites law suits and class action suits as well.

If you decline to/sign or agree they terminate your account or service for failure to accept the contact's TOS.
