Cable & Mobile Business Plan<p>---<p>- Use taxpayer money to build network<p>- demand to be a monopoly<p>- make gov. also install infrastructure on all public projects<p>- underinvest in infrastructure and simply degrade service as needed<p>- create extremely complex billing and cost structure<p>- (if cable company) also sell advertising and charge networks<p>- aggregate customer data. Ignore above point, if not cable company inject tracking directly. Make huge profit, pay slightly >1 million as a joke after caught.<p>- destroy net neutrality and charge on both sides of equation<p>- spy on your customers and leverage the data for profit directly and sell it on open market<p>- if user is privacy centric, do same as above but charge more<p>So in summary, charge 4 different entities for the same single service and include extra fees to everyone for the service you already sold them. It would be like if you were a fruit salesman.<p>- government subsidizes farm<p>- charge farmer to sell fruit<p>- eliminate all competing fruit stands<p>- sell fruit for profit<p>- charge extra for providing 4 bananas to someone who bought 4 bananas<p>- charge extra for unspoiled fruit without insects

It's not "AT&T" doing this. It's their executives and shareholders - people with names and addresses. Don't pressure AT&T to change, you will never succeed - pressure it's key people. Do not let them hide behind their corporation.
