This argument carries no weight. Comcast doesn't show me prices until I give them my address, at which point they have all of the data necessary to show me the actual price.
This is not a difficult problem for them to solve, they just don't want to do it because these companies are run by greedy shitgibbons who don't want to tell you the actual price of their product until the last possible second.
- tptacek 3y agoHow I know this is false is that NCTA's compromise offer was to quote customers the maximum possible fee (nonbinding) in lieu of tracking down the specific fee from the customer's zip code, which would allow them to pre-label retail SKUs, which is the problem they are trying to solve. I know "shitgibbon" is fun to write and Comcast is a convenient punching bag (I don't like them either), but they're not as straightforwardly the villain in this story as articles like these want to pretend.
