In a League of Justice-like pile driver maneuver, corporate do-gooder Google hammered the capitalistic forces of darkness and boldly slashed it’s Nexus One mobile phone termination fees from $350 to a mere $150. The mind boggling awesome strike illustrates the search giant’s core values as embodied in their former corporate motto “Don’t be Evil.”
When the heroic Google launched the Nexus One phone the fine print of the user agreement revealed a cancellation fee that would cost customers $550. That included the courageous $350 equipment recovery which boldly matches the highest in the industry. While Google was well within the bounds of non-evilness for these minor fees because of the expense of there excellent and carefully planned customer service, the corporate overlords dictated that the fees be reduced.
Analysts speculate that this move was to counter the shadowy and nefarious group known only as “The FCC.” Two weeks before Google’s decisive blow The FCC issued a manifesto which claimed they were gathering “information about whether customers are adequately informed about Google’s Equipment Recovery Fee in connection with its offering of the Nexus One to customers who agree to a two-year contract.”
Although The FCC has been foiled again by our heroes, they escaped complete destruction and were heard to cursing our benefactor and vowing to destroy them and all other things good before disappearing into the night with a cackle of manically laughter.
Google’s stock, GOOG, traded at $532.75 a share at the time of writing this article.
