Power of the Internet...

Well not only is the massive internet usage causing revolutions in the middle-east, but now companies such as NetFlix and BofA have found that keeping the internet crowd happy is paramount to thier customers.  NetFlix has decided not to split off its DVD business because of an internet uproar, and many customers reacting with their feet to the higher prices.  BofA announced that they were going to start charging a fee for using debit cards, and a similar reaction caused many. many customers to defect to smaller banks or credit unions where debit fees are unheard of.  I'm sure that both companies will find other less-controversial means to make up the profits that they have abandoned by their most recent actions.  Let this be a lesson to those that pay attention: customers want service- that is why they do business with you.  If they don't get it or can't, they will look elsewhere.  It is high time that banks realize whose money it is and stop shooting themselves in the foot to reap every sliver of profit out of every transaction that customers wish to manage their own monies.  I applaud those who learned that BofA is not the only bank or credit union where they can accomplish that....
