hahaha I recall in the 80's seeing something on 20/20 or 60 Minutes about a phone company called "I Don't Care." Apparently if you made a collect call from a pay phone the operator would ask which carrier to use, and a lot of people would say "I Don't Care".
I think the story was that it ended up in court. The court said they didn't do anything wrong, so they doubled down and filed paperwork to create a bunch of additional company names like "Whichever is cheapest" and "Just pick one". -Adam ________________________________ From: AF <[email protected]> on behalf of Steve Jones <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 27, 2025 4:34 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Big Broadband jacking up rates now? i wonder if mediacom rebranded to xtreme to get confusion clicks from xfinity On Mon, Jan 27, 2025 at 3:22 PM Ken Hohhof <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Comcast, or Xfinity?

At least in the case of Comcast, they see their "cable business" (NBC included) as declining value, so they are shifting their revenue stream to the one thing they have left. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 1/27/2025 9:20 AM, Dev wrote: > I see them (multiple vendors, after the first of the year) jacking up the > rates, sometimes by up to 20%.
