Qwest’s plan to gouge people who don’t want their information listed is cancelled. A minor victory against Qworst.
This isn’t a service I was looking for, mind you. I don’t mind being in the phone book. Indeed, my “Privacy Tolerance Level” seems much looser than most folks.
But for people who don’t want to be listed — why the hell should they have to pay $8.50 to set it up plus $1 per month.
Greed? Say it ain’t so!
I happen to think the breakup of Ma Bell was a big mistake. But I damn sure wish we’d get some serious competition in town for local phone service. Sheesh.
