Consumers Want A Single Bill
from the but-will-it-happen? dept
When I first signed up for AT&T@Home from AT&T Broadband, I asked them to combine it with my cable bill, which is also provided by AT&T Broadband. It's the same company... so, it should be the same bill. AT&T disagreed and told me such a thing was impossible. Of course, they used to offer such a thing, but at some point they decided it was too expensive. Maybe they should have done some market research. It appears that consumer really prefer to get everything on a single bill and often make buying decisions on that criteria alone.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

it's impossible
I've heard similar comments, "oh, the computer won't let us do that."
what an absurd thing to say. Did the computer program itself?
hey! maybe this explains much of the behavior of Microsoft in the last few years... viruses.. um, I mean, MS applications, were limiting what a person could and couldn't do as a matter of policy.
certainly, people couldn't have made decisions. Like the poster suggested, maybe someone (the computer I think) decided it was too expensive, and promptly made it impossible (like playing DVD's on stock w2k) :-o
