This is bad news - hedge funds buy profitable businesses and immediately go to work cutting back services to pay the purchase cost down faster. Expect less customer service, less options, and higher bills incoming.

There's no solution to this, and time is just a salve. Call me slightly pessimistic, but I think the only thing that'll ultimately bring about any change is a decimating thermonuclear war.
