Your second paragraph flies directly in the face of everything that is right about capitalism. As a simple example, long distance call rates dropped by 40-50% after the breakup with no difference in quality.
- rayiner 10y agoCapitalism will give you what the market wants, not what a snob would consider "good." E.g. popular music and movies suck, but that's because that's what the market wants. Phone call quality has gone to shit compared to the POTS network of yore, but again the market doesn't care. Keeping AT&T would've given people what folks on HN want: a wired network that was expensive built gold-plated.
