Re: One Phone, Multiple Networks said by Telco:That's interesting because Repubs always talk about the market forces. Yet whenever you indicate failure after failure within the market of this flawed creed, I hear crickets. That's because some (many? most?) conservatives take it too far, just as some (many? most?) liberals take it too far the other way.
It is possible to have free and open markets, where market forces compete, and have the public not getting screwed. It's also possible to have reasonable government oversight and regulation and have businesses not getting screwed.
For example: If you own the device, all compatible carriers must accept it. If a carrier subsidizes a phone, they are allowed to lock it to their network, but they must unlock it once the subsidization is satisfied. Carriers may not charge for subsidizing a phone when they're not, in fact, subsidizing a phone.

Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal are not "all of Europe." You might just as well blame the entire U.S. for California's failings.
The truth is we have some of the most expensive, least bang-for-your-buck subscription TV, broadband and wireless services in the world. I don't care how you slice it, that's just wrong.

Mount Airy, MD | said by jseymour:Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal are not "all of Europe." You might just as well blame the entire U.S. for California's failings. And yet they do drag down the EU entirely. Why does the world care if 4 countries can't pay their bills? It is because when they fail, they will take the rest of the EU with them.
And we'll have to add France to that list too. A 75% tax on the rich? Good grief what stupidity.
