What first world country doesn’t run this feature on their telephone system? That tech is like so 80′s.

The part I hate about telephone information is being transferred over to tech service or billing support housed in another country. I could fill pages ranting about that alone, but I won’t.

There are costs to using the net
1. You have to pay monthly for your internet connection and not everyone is wired.
2. Someone has to update their website and there’s the use of bandwidth so you know that cost is passed on to the consumer.
3. Some work places block You Tube and anything flash so you’re SOL if that’s your only outlet of communication with the public.

So don’t fire all those operators yet.

There’s also the dark side – you put a lot of people with limited skills out of work. That’s a cost to the state and tax payers, unless you want to support a jobs program. Still an added cost.

If not your state now has fewer jobs for your countrymen; communications no longer has to be local and 2nd world nations are willing to work for less – this lowers the standard of living for everyone across the board.

Heck, this is a huge problem now for our own economy. Making-a-living-wage-people are now being paid to train foreigners to take their jobs. This always comes back to bite everyone in the end.
