i put the cell phone industry right up there with the big pharma's and the oil companies as far as being scum bags.

in the case of cell phone companies, they have treated us - the customers - as shit for waaayyyy too long. This new regulation from the government will let that behavior come home to roost. The execs at the cell phone companies better be sweating what's really gonna happen come late November. One of the biggets reasons people never switch is because so many people know the number - that is no longer a problem. And even better is that the way that the cell phone companies work - they rely on keeping us around for and avoiding this churn to make money. Their past actions are now going to come back to hit them where it hurts - right in the wallett.
