Comments on: T-Mobile to Customers : FU http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/12/15/t-mobile-to-customers-fu/ Jeff Nolan's take on investment, innovation, entrepreneurship and the technology industry Mon, 06 Feb 2012 06:44:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tim Marman http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/12/15/t-mobile-to-customers-fu/comment-page-1/#comment-203253 Tim Marman Tue, 18 Dec 2007 00:31:27 +0000 http://jeffnolan.com/wp/2007/12/15/t-mobile-to-customers-fu/#comment-203253 Yeah, as Zoli said, this definitely does not make sense - I don't understand why they would consider blocking when it would only lead to additional revenue for them. Biz Stone said it was a technical issue, and I tend to believe him. http://blog.twitter.com/2007/12/t-mobile-mix-up-was-technical.html "T-Mobile does not have a policy against Twitter—in fact, they like us. This was a technical bug, now resolved." That said, I'd have to read my terms of service (which I'm not about to do, since it's just a technical issue right?), but I have to wonder if T-Mo would somehow be in violation if they charge me for a text message and never deliver it.

Twitter usage would lead to increased SMS usage, which is revenue for T-Mobile. Cutting off a revenue source? Crazy. Interestingly in this case they are also F themselves.
