Comparing the wireless industry to other industries and making
proclamations about how other industries are ranked higher is
meaningless. The only relevant comparison is within a particular
industry. It's especially true in the case of something like wireless
where people's frame of reference is the reliability of their landline,
rather than other wireless communication systems.

Check some of my earlier posts. Some of things I've criticized them for
include:

-Defeaturing of handsets, including removing the multimedia and file
transfer capability in Motorola Phone Tools

-Removing off-extended network roaming in AC2

-Eliminating holidays as off-peak calling

-Moving from 8pm to 9pm for off-peak calling in the western region

-Increasing prices surreptitiously, by making previously included
features an extra-cost option, then later adding the extra cost back and
incuding the feature again.


I'm not sure what your agenda is in making up these stories. Unlike
Navas, I always provide references for the statements I make. I don't
make stuff up out of thin air like he does.
