Unwavering Focus On Doing What To Customers?
from the just-wondering dept
Broadband Reports has a bit of fun at Qwest's expense for the companies claim that its "unwavering focus on the customer" has positioned the company for growth. The post lists out a number of things Qwest has done that seem particularly customer unfriendly -- mostly things designed to give customers fewer choices so that they're stuck as customers, rather than happy customers who choose to stay with Qwest because it's the better option. Of course, they don't even mention Qwest's highly publicized terms of service that seemed anything but customer friendly. Obviously, the quote is just something that executives always say -- so shouldn't be taken too seriously. We're still waiting to see a company say that its focused on getting monopoly power of its market so it can charge monopoly rents, screwing over the customers, but rewarding shareholders. That would be a bit of refreshing executive honesty.
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.
