Tariff policies must be overhauled.

The whole notion that services can be given away ‘free’ must be stopped. Nothing is free.

What this bloke also failed to mention is that they are not interested to fix any problems but they will spend millions to investigate the problem, spent hours in meetings trying to sound intelligent and run around making everything worse than it already is.
