Still it is not a pretty site for the company or their customers.

Further it shows that he was not paying attention to the terms of contracts and such, as a result he got hit with a lot of charges. What is interesting is that the story appears to have changed slightly with the personal blog entry as opposed to what was said at the time that it started going south. There are several articles quoting Jeremy talking about how he was "scammed" because he was foolishly selling service for less than it cost him under terms that left him holding the bag. Looking at it this way, if Best Buy is selling items for less than their cost, and I buy them and sell them on ebay, I am not scamming them, they sold it below their cost I just bought as many as I could so I could turn a profit (and this really did happen with me, best buy, and mp3 players). I see no difference with someone else selling something for below their cost without putting in contractual requirements. The FCC also agrees with this in one case where they specifically said that its on carriers to file tariffs and do contracts that protect them and not complain after the fact that someone used a service they underpriced.
