We have a prime example in this country of Telstra (a phone company). They bugger everyone up, customers and systems, with the you'll have to put up with it, or go to one of the small number of highly similar competitors. So, no, market forces don't keep them in check. We had a seriously out of date analogue system for decades, poor pricing schemes and features, poor complaint handling, etc. We have the NBN broadband disaster because Telstra deliberately refused to keep their network updated with modern standards, because they didn't want to*have* to share it with competitors. It was a screw everyone approach, because they weren't going to be allowed to be monopoly. Year in, year out, it's been proved that all their care about is their market worth, not the customers that pay them.
Time for Anti Trust laws to kick in. Bust them up into five or more companies. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
