Re: Cingular dropping more customers that they sold service to, due to 50% policy

True. But isn't like we don't have a fixed account receivable business
model here. I mean, contract or no contract, you still pay monthly fees.
So
every customer is profitable.

Not true. There is a real "opportunity cost" of service, and low
revenue customers can in fact be unprofitable.

This applies to nearly everything. Exclusive time (hence dollars) can be
lost when products and services are not optimally allocated at the highest
potential/profitable consumer.

So what are we really talking about here about "Opportunistic Cost"?
Bandwidth allocation for the non-contractual and/or lower tier customers?
Are we back to net neutrality issues? Service contacts also gives you
better estimate of long term profits margins and that is always great for
stock holders.
