   I'll be the first to admit that I don't know what all is involved with running   
   a wireless/wireless phone company.  Also, when it comes to "just plain running   
   any kind of business", so to speak, I don't know, I guess you'd say, from the   
   business/money    
   side of things, ANYTHING about how do do it; although I DO have some ideas   
   about how to do some of the day to day operations.  Let's put it this way, an   
   ashtray or door knob knows, (more about?), how to run a business better than I   
   do.   
      
   I just see the T.V. commercials for wireless companies, and, in and as a part   
   of the fine print, it says SOMETHING LIKE, (I don't remember for sure exactly   
   WHAT it says and/or how it says it), "....after a certain amount of usage,   
   company may slow speeds.   
   "  Although I DO NOT know ANYTHING about that or WHY they do it, (the slowing   
   of speeds), when they do, from the customer's point of view, or, you might   
   say, from THIS customer's, (mind's), point of view, that ROYALLY STINKS!!!!!   
      
   Finally(?), I did NOT say anything or mean to say anything, and I did NOT   
   imply or mean to imply anything about denying some customers service.  It's   
   just that, in MY opinion, for the fine print thing that I'm talking about, if   
   one takes it "at face    
   value", as it's said, it "SEEMS" wrong for wireless companies to slow speeds,   
   at least as it relates to customers who have unlimited plans that include   
   unlimited data.  Also, if a customer chooses an unlimited plan, then, at least   
   to me, it SHOULD BE    
   truly 100% unlimited, otherwise; don't call it unlimited.  One other thing,   
   although I do NOT know much, if anything, about it, I DO NOT have anything   
   against free market capitalism.  I hope that I said all of this properly.  If   
   I didn't, then please    
   forgive me.
