Charging whatever they want and refusing service to people they didn't like

2020-11-12 03:11:31 UTC  

Basically early phone tapping & restrictions

This country actually has a very rich antitrust history

We've broken up Big Telecom, Big Oil, etc.

$600 long distance bills before the internet calling other computers

He was one of the most unpopular people in the world before the media built him up as a superhero

2020-11-12 03:15:26 UTC  

I remember when the Jolly Rodger released the new anarchists cookbook online.

i'm old enough to remember back in the day when direct TV cable boxes used to read your package plan of a little credit card like thing they put in it, and if it was removed you wouldn't be able to watch tv

2020-11-12 03:17:09 UTC  

There was a way to get around that and I think it was the hard reset.

2020-11-12 03:17:15 UTC  

I bought one of the upgraded cards off ebay back then. Free satellite for about 3 years till it stopped working

2020-11-12 03:17:47 UTC
