Just read your Gearbits story. The first graf happened to my
sister-in-law while we were in New York a couple weeks ago. She has
Verizon. She blew off the search effort for when she got home.
As for the last graf, the answer is pretty simple -- the new
customer is most important. The existing customer already has paid his
money, has a whopping fee to pay if he gets unhappy enough to leave, and
probably will forget the mistreatment in a year or so when it's time to
renew service.
