The changes announced yesterday and the ridiculous price increases are a craptastic disgrace to the company and a betrayal of the community that supports it. There is no longer a reason to support this company--Public, you were supposed to be a disruptor of the mobile industry, and not another 3rd rate lackey. I am utterly disappointed because I believed in the business model and the community approach. The fact that they were presented with a bait and switch press strategy touting the "benefits" of 3G is also disgraceful.
Given that Public has relied on the free labour and engagement of its Public Community, I would like to request public comment from @Jeremy_M on two simple questions:
-Are the price increases at the behest of Telus?
-How do the price increases comport with a vision of Public Mobile as a full service mobile competitor that competes on price (i.e. The business model that we have all invested in)?
Why should I endure this company's growing pains so I can be a part of a Chatr-like third-rate service?
