They have a right to offer whatever terms they want, and you have the right to accept or reject those terms.
If you can't find a company that will grant you the service you want on your terms, you have the right to attempt to form your own company and find customers.
One thing you do not have the right to do is to try to assemble a mob and get them to vote a new law into place that would force the company to bend to your ideas on how it should be run. That kind of unlimited democracy is precisely the sort of tyranny that killed Socrates, and I say that is morally wrong.
- idan 14y agoI have a precious "right" to complain to my government that monopolies are causing me to be underserved, especially since those same monopolies are often the beneficiaries of government assets (rights-of-way, spectrum, money from my taxes, etc. ) Don't see what is "morally" wrong about that. I live in Israel, which passed strict regulations about contract term limits, number portability, service bundling, and even SIM locking (all devices must be sold unlocked by law). As a result, cellular service prices plunged due to competition here—not because they were regulated to be lower, but because they were regulated to compete vigorously.
