First it starts with the "Big Boy On The Block" and then other providers start to follow pursuit. Not just cell providers but cable, satellite and all the others. It needs to be stopped before it spreads like a virus. Just my .02¢
Cell/smart phones have become a necessity people. You can threaten to take your biz elsewhere, but what are you really accomplishing by doing that? I just left Sprint bc they were dousch bags with horrible data service and I couldn't take it anymore. Verizon has the BEST data service hands down, and now I would say they have VERY competitive share plans for families now. That is one big reason I switched. These guys are providing phones and services for consumers who demand cell service bc we can't put the phones down for more than a minute. YOU ALL TURNED VERIZON INTO THE GIANT THEY ARE, AND GAVE THEM THEIR ATTITUDE. I say deal with it, or go somewhere else and get crap service.
