It isn't that they care for the customer, I believe, no no, not one bit. Rather it is more, "What will we need to disclose about ourselves in the future if this sets a precedent?" It is all about a penny here and a penny there as they can add up to billions of dollars. Just give me one shinny penny from everyone in the States and I am worth about 3.2 million dollars.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me."

- Lowell C. McAdam, Verizon CEO
