Honesty is just too expensive for PPF

13.07.2016 - EB

In the same week that PPF worked with Bohuslav Sobotka, Milan Chovanec, Jan Birke and other MPs in an effort to hijack the highway-toll system, O2 CR will begin cutting off data customers who exceed their limit and don't agree to pay for a re-up. It would be easy for PPF/O2 to avoid the bad publicity of a lawsuit filed by the dTest consumer group by giving customers who disagree with the unilateral contract revision a chance to cancel their service without penalty, but this would cost the mobile operator money. Instead, PPF is giving us another lesson in how to f*** the public. SkyToll could have also become a savior instead of a predator if it had had a bit of patience and had played by the rules, but it is pulling out all the stops to prevent an extension of the Kapsch deal. These two incidents shine a light on PPF's business practices: If there is an honest but more expensive way to achieve something, PPF will go with the underhanded way.

Glossary of difficult words
