The problems start when the State starts regulating things and eventually those who make up the 'rules' always end up taking the advice of the larger corporations (officially because they are so called 'experts' because they have a big market share. in reality of course because they made the right contributions to the right politician).

If YOU don't like what a company is selling or doing, no one is stopping YOU from trying to convince people to stop buying from that company. Especially in this day and age, we have more means then ever to get the word out.
you reply didn't address what i was really getting at. they are already making money hand over fist by charging people for things that cost them nothing. if they all band together people will be helpless and its only a matter of time before they go even further and they have the power to totally squash the resellers because they own the lines! i guess you won't mind if these changes put you out of business. hey, they need to make money, even if its at the cost of your job.
