Lots of Great Ideas – Keep Them Coming!

Phillip Dampier April 2, 2009 Editorial & Site News, Frontier, Public Policy & Gov't 1 Comment

Thanks for the tremendous support from folks not just here in Rochester, but also in the other cities dealing with this. I am overwhelmed with the excellent ideas, suggestions, and responses and am going to begin bringing them together so we can begin work on several different fronts. I will be personally getting back to many of you asking if you can help head up some of these efforts. This absolutely will need to be a group endeavor, and I’d also like to have others writing articles here and helping to keep each other up to date.

I have a major article to write next about alternatives people in Rochester at least can find, but I’m hunting around for options in other affected cities as well. We’ll begin a mass exodus from Road Runner well before there are any usage caps, if only to let them know as customers we feel abused, taken for granted, and outraged over this naked attempt to profiteer. And we’ll be coordinating a public list of those specifically leaving for this reason.

Then, we’re going to get involved in two additional fronts:

– Public policy initiatives to start looking at legislative or regulatory approaches to market abuse;
– Sending gifts and flowers to Verizon corporate begging them to either invade Rochester or write a check from petty cash and buy out Frontier if they are incapable of competing on a level comparable to what Verizon is providing across the rest of the state.

And we’ll be partnering with other websites that are also working on this issue, particularly in places like Austin where the outrage over this action is growing with the same intensity it is here in upstate New York. Stay tuned!

When cable net first came alive I signed up and gave them $49.95 a month from that day forward. It was the way of the future. TW has treated me very well through the YEARS. If I needed service they were always there for me from an outside line change to a simple phone question. They spent the time with me to fix the problem but after all these years I find it inconsumable that they now want to put a cap on us the people that built them from the ground up. We just don’t like the idea. So… Read more »
