I guess Brett is a CEO, but I think of him as a small business owner, and his lack of market power certainly makes his pricing issues much tougher. Randall Webmail wrote:
Brett has no competitors, in most of his market footprint - he provides wireless broadband in Wyoming, where, for most of his customers, the CO is too far for DSL and "Cable" is found on oil derricks. He's just whining because he signed people up, promising them "Unlimited Internet Access", and they took him at his word.
