Please Blame the Deregulation and Regulation Fiascos Parte 36

Len Gould added a comment on May 14th that reads:

I disagree with Steves "Hogan’s model is based on the real life fact that the consumer is hardly interested in such business." It fails to acknowledge the ranges of possible interactions available given modern computer and communications technology. It is precisely the same thinking which 25 years ago would have declared "No airline customer will want to book their own ticket" or "Bank tellers will always perform the majority of retail transactions".

In my proposal, retail customers not wishing to worry about their meter market have two other options. a) ignore the meter and simply accept the demand penalties. b) contract monthly, annually or etc with a large service provider to handle their purchasing for them.

The paradigm is inevitable, only remaining when.
