This is really cool - I wrote a letter to Randall Stephenson in college back when tethering wasn't built into phone plans. I wrote a parable of a man going to the baker, who has listed $100 for unlimited loaves of bread for a month. You buy it and walk outside. It's a beautiful summer day, you can't wait to use your 1 piece of unlimited bread. He sees you excitedly slicing the bread outside the bakery and putting some jam and butter right outside, admiring the pretty girls in summer dresses and you start to enjoy the moment.<p>Baker runs outside, steals the bread from your mouth and said "NO, if you want to use the bread for any sort of bread-related artifacts (bread pudding, sandwiches, croutons) you must pay the mandatory 15 dollar surcharge for every bread artifact produced" I was trying to relate it to tethering.<p>Anyways, the email is probably lost to the sands of time but I was so furious when this stuff was happening around 2011-2015 era. Wrote a solid 2000 words to Randall Stephenson. True asshole for how his reign oversaw the decline in quality in $T<p>Of course he retired last year with infinite money, so that's cool. Good for him. He should take up baking bread.<p>Maybe break them up again? Haha jk, Bell Monopoly 3.0 will probably just be a shitty clone of Bell Monopoly 2.0 with a prettier UI, just like most modern software updates<p>EDIT: I don't use AT&T anymore, Google Fi is alright. Please if any Googlers are watching, tell the Fi team to make a button that lets me delete all voicemails in one action. Had to delete 170 voicemails one by one yesterday and even after a glass of ouzo or three under the belt, by the time I had 35 left I was ready to just jump off a bridge. No, instead they probably are re-re-redesigning Gmail again, which much like theta decay I can feel killing me in the future. Seriously, every time you redesign Gmail I have to explain to my father where the buttons are. Priorities G-Men, please.
