OK, here’s one thing I would be quite happy to have the
government meddle in:
It bugs me a bit when I see that line at the bottom of
e-mails sent from smart phones that says ‘Sent from my iPhone’ or ‘Sent from my
BlackBerry.’ If I had such a device, I would be a bit miffed that I was not
only paying a fee for the phone and service, but also providing the company
with free advertising into the bargain. So here’s what I think the government
should do.
They should enact a law to the effect that the likes of
Apple et al be banned from increasing their charges above the level of
inflation, but offer the subscriber the option to opt out of their irritating
little message. Those who don’t opt out should be given a discount to pay for
the advertising.
Not much of a capitalist, am I?
