Bills

My coworkers and I complained at length this afternoon that AT&T will start capping their Uvers and DSL offerings. The caps are not nearly as important as the limitations themselves. Today it is one number. Next week it will be a much lower number. Eventually, it will be zero. You will pay for everything you download instead of paying for access to the network.. Fine. I want to pay zero for my hook up and only pay for what I use. I want competition among offerings. I want to split my bill so based on what I download, I can get the best price.

One guy was animate that he would switch from AT&T to some other provider. That is nice, but the entire industry is going that way. They have found a way to get more money and that is all there is to it.

This depresses me. When this kicks in, I will change my behavior. I do not have cable. I do not have the ability to buy movies or TV shows. I will simply stop downloading and stop watching. That is the only choice left to me. I cannot afford the additional cost.

The internet companies act like people will just hand over money by the bucket regardless of what they get in return. This is not the case. There is not an endless amount of money. I have to choose between which bills get paid every month. I will simply not download as much until that is not an option any more and then I will find some other way to get the minimum I need to do on the internet, like pay bills, done somewhere else. This is where it will go. I'm also quite sure I'm not the only one in this dilema.

There is no more money.
