Why dont they have the equivalent of Verizon Imagio and Droid?

Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd introduces a bill to immediately freeze credit-card rates. Which is a bad idea, argues Daniel Indiviglio: Companies aren't using rate changes to "work around" upcoming laws - they're preparing for them, and they intend to make money whether we like that or not. http://seekingalpha.com/news/market_currents/post/35024?source=feed#comment-731138 731138
A freeze is a joke. Roll back and cap rights at 18%. If they can't make money at that, with money costing them 0%, they should shut their doors. ]]>
