If the writer of this blog post got his way and stirred the masses to complain over not getting the new 'customer deals', then the service providers would simply take away the new customer deals. That'd be 'fair', right?
He was a new customer once. He got one of those deals himself. Now he's pissed that someone, somewhere else in the world is paying less than him for cable.
The only other outcome would be contracts - like with cell phone providers, you'd sign a 3-year contract or somesuch for cable, and they'd offer you another 'new customer promotion' if you resign a new contract when your existing one is up.
Attempting to make things 'fair' just makes things worse for everyone.
