The downside of "nearly free"
JohnPaterson 6th May 2009
One of the problems with services that are nearly free is that customer service is nearly non-existent, and that's not coincidence.

When a customer's value is trivial to the supplier, then you should forget about any chance of personal service.

Cheap broadband, self service credit cards, discount mobile telephony - we love 'em! 'till they go wrong. Then you do what you do with those $5 T Shirts - throw them in the bin and move on.
