wtf is a the point of the contract if they are rise the price?
To reduce competitive pressure by trapping customers.
why would the mark participate tho?
Because I need the internet. And every company does this so I have no choice.
Although I actually found a small company that doesn't do it apparently, so we'll see. The trouble is even if they don't do it in this contract, they might want to do it next contract. Of course I could always not renew, but then I'm back to square one aren't I, with every company doing it.
Because they have few other options. It's very exploitativr.
