Verizon, responding to customer complaints, is canceling the surcharge they instituted on August 14. I blogged my complaint about the charge last week.
“We have listened to our customers and are eliminating this charge in response to their concerns,” Bob Ingalls, chief marketing officer for Verizon, said in a statement Wednesday.
Two days after my original post on the surcharge I noticed that someone at Verizon’s headquarters had visited my article. This is further evidence that the voice of bloggers are being heard.
This is a good example of an ISP voluntarily responding to customer pressure in a competitive free-market environment.

Labor day is around the corner, the feel of fall is in the air and today is the final Thursday at the Square. Summer does seem to be much too short and the final Thursday at the Square of the season is like a rite of passage in Buffalo. All the more reason to attend today’s downtown concert.
The lineup for the show virtually guarantees a big turnout. Eric Burdon and the Animals are headlining. The opening act, The Ifs, is a local British Rock invasion band. I first heard them performing at the Taste of Buffalo and am looking forward to hearing them today.
Tom Stahl and the Dangerfields are the second group on stage today.
Be there or be square! (i know, it was a bad pun, but i couldn’t resist)
