As it stands right now they do have the right to do whatever they want. I guess you are proposing that this needs to be changed.

- adrian_b 6y agoAll large companies that have a quasi-monopoly, e.g. the large cable providers, ISPs, mobile phone companies, and so on, take frequently abusive decisions that affect negatively many of their customers. In most cases the customers are forced to accept these unilateral decisions, because they do not have the power to attempt a legal battle with those companies, e.g. for modifying the fees or the data caps. Nevertheless, even when we do not want or cannot fight such decisions, we should not say that they are private companies and they can do whatever they want. Those companies are not independent to do whatever they want, they are in contractual relationships with their paying customers. They may use their power to unilaterally change the contracts as they want to, but that does not mean that we must accept that might is right.
- PurpleFoxy 6y agoI agree that they should not be able to do what they want. I’m just saying that they can. Which is something also think should be changed but it doesn’t change the reality of how it is currently.
