Some things in life just leave you going...HUH?

In the paper this Sunday, a writer
Bert Caldwell, in the Business
section, wrote about the phone
company. Well, actually it was
about legislation to do with the
phone company. What we all
call land lines. Not Cell.

Seems it has been introduced
to Congress (both sides) to have
the companies raise rates to
more and 1/3 in the next 5 years.
THEN, after that, the companies
would be free to raise rates with
no say so from the state's
Utilities and Transportation
Commissions.

It seems the phone companies are
feeling the pinch of the cell phones
and the internet phone service. Which
I can understand that. I know several
who have dumped their land line for
cell. Even family members have been
considering this. But..............

What has my logical head shaking
is....
you are getting less customers,
so you raise the rates.....

Does that make sense to you?
Sure doesn't to me. Do they want
the rest to go to cell phones? One
would think you would lower rates, so
people would come back and those
considering dropping... would stay.

But that is just my own humble opinion.
