Once again the socialist don't get it (FYI Israel is a *very* socialist
country). :(
If you don't like the actions of Company X, the solution is not more
government regulation, the solution is to stop using Company X's products.
The pocketbook is far more powerfull than any government action. If the
million or so cell phone users all went and turned in their phones and
canceled their service things would change very fast.
