Re: SIGs, (Special Interest Groups)
I feel a small measure of disatisfaction with this decision. It's quite a blow to the consumer. I think it's unfair that service has been restricted to big business. It's so funny that in a country supposedly founded on democratic principles, the people seldom ever get what they want. It seems counter-intuitive that at every turn, what we get is exactly the opposite of what we collectively chose. Making our voice heard in this country is like ordering at McDonalds.
"I'll have one order of low-cost municipal broadband please."
"$59.95 broadband coming right up sir."
"No, I said low-cost broadband."
"Let me get the manager."
"What do I need a manager for? I just want broadband at a low-cost."
"Hi sir, I'm the manager here. I've been informed that you wanted our broadband package for $79.95."
"What? The other person said it was $59.95, that was too expensive anyway, what about the municipal broadband option?"
"I'm sorry sir. $110.95 broadband is the only package we have." |
