“I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock (arstechnica.com)

T-Mobile promised users who bought certain mobile plans that it would never raise their prices for as long as they lived—but then raised their prices this year. So it's no surprise that 2,000 T-Mobile customers complained to the government about a price hike on plans that were advertised as having a lifetime price lock.

I thought Tmobile was going out of business when I saw the price lock advertisements. What a perfect way to get one last scam out the door.

Looks like I underestimated the lows my country can go.

The hilarious thing is that prices could and should have been able to go continuously lower. It's just that in the interest of making massive mega conglomerates, we allow insane amounts of debt to be issued to companies that are either unprofitable long term or because of said debt become unprofitable long term (Red box is a recent example). We really should probably be allowing and incentivizing varied, steady, and reasonable industry growth instead.
