The NYTimes David Pogue battles the cell phone giants: Take back the beep

In 2007, I spoke at an international cellular conference in Italy. The big buzzword was ARPU–Average Revenue Per User. The seminars all had titles like, “Maximizing ARPU In a Digital Age.” And yes, several attendees (cell executives) admitted to me, point-blank, that the voicemail instructions exist primarily to make you use up airtime, thereby maximizing ARPU.
It's such a shameless scam. If I was dictator of the world I'd get these guys right after those colluding inkjet printer manufacturers.
