- jeremyjh 3y agoAt this rate its far cheaper to pay the fines than to pay a compliance officer.
- mistrial9 3y agois this seriously suggesting that enforcement of known agreements with corporations providing regulated services is not useful because it might cost the consumer?
- teeray 3y agoCertainly not the intention. The intent is that opaque junk fees are prone to abuse this way and we have no way of really knowing that they aren’t.
- ajford 3y agoI took it that this fine isn't enough to change anything, and will likely just be added to the overhead that gets snuck into these opaque service charges. 10k isn't even a slap on the wrist. More like picking a piece of lint off the wrist.
- CableNinja 3y agoIm just a guy, with no job atm. I could pay the 10k fine, right now, and other than be miffed, still have money. These fines need to be so so much larger, like "fuck up more than twice and you wont have money to run your business" levels of fines.
- tacocataco 3y agoI'm glad you're doing okay. Keep in mind you deserve to thrive in life, not just survive.
- CableNinja 3y agoThanks, My point was more about the scale of the fine than my current woes. I just meant that if one guy, with no job could pay the total fine for a large ISP, then the fine is way, way, too small
