Cable &amp; 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 &gt;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

Why isn&#x27;t this a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 2511 - Interception and disclosure of wire, oral, or electronic communications prohibited<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.law.cornell.edu&#x2F;uscode&#x2F;text&#x2F;18&#x2F;2511" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.law.cornell.edu&#x2F;uscode&#x2F;text&#x2F;18&#x2F;2511</a><p>&quot;except that a provider of wire communication service to the public shall not utilize service observing or random monitoring except for mechanical or service quality control checks.&quot;

It&#x27;s not &quot;AT&amp;T&quot; doing this. It&#x27;s their executives and shareholders - people with names and addresses. Don&#x27;t pressure AT&amp;T to change, you will never succeed - pressure it&#x27;s key people. Do not let them hide behind their corporation.

I suppose all bets are off with the FCC now, but wasn&#x27;t &#x27;pay for privacy&#x27; explicitly forbidden a while back?
