Can someone even post or is there an after hours prohibition? I've tried over 20 times to enter their codes. I will never post here again if this fails a few more times. What kind of operation (media business) are you running here. Do you seek someone to become "postal" because there is no way to vent here anymore?

It looks like CT is finished and Safelite got their commercial free speech protected. What will it take for the CT AG to finally explain it to the politicians? Will someone have to go postal in Columbus for the country to understand that a Belgian company seeks to put more businesses in BK?

My problem is this: If they were not really effectively steering a ton of business Safelite's way, why would Safelite Solutions fight so hard to restore something that wasn't important to begin with? This must be the payoff in their business model and we all know it.

With regard to commercial free speech and 1st Amendment rights, why is it that all glass shops cannot exercise their 5th Amendment rights to not say anything that will harm their businesses? Every time we have to allow a customer to report that they are at our shop (and warn our competitor that there is an opportunity to steal a job from us), is this not patently unfair?

They may need to change the law to what Mark1 posted a while back. This was an act to make it illegal to solicit a consumer while they were reporting a claim. This would put things back to square one. The problem is that Safelite would cry that they cannot exercise their free speech to tell the consumer about their other fulfillment business.

I have tried for the 19th and final time to post this. What is wrong with this site? u98fpW

Here is the post from Mark1:

Someone has communicated to me a host of Catch 22's that this ruling brings up.

JB has hit another on the head with a very fine point sledgehammer.

"The new law forced Safelite to name a competitor which is exactly what we have been complaining about only it is the insurance company that is forcing us to introduce our customers to Safelite and not the state."

Now that you have this ruling coming from a District Court, what will the state do when, as outlined above, each and every glass shop is required to introduce its customer's to its direct competitor when they do any work for an insured consumer contracting with them for the repairs to the property?

Not only is a shop providing its proprietary data including all aspects of customer, part, price, and locations to its direct competitor, the direct competitor has pronounced and defined the "direct competitor" issue fully and completely. We've seen and heard the scripts, seen the emails, seen the letters sent to consumers.

And again, all this has little to do with a "TPA that also has installers", and the court noted that shortfall as well.

Right now, the simple solution that should be the "middle ground" favoring NO ONE, and effectively leveling the playing field to promote a completely open market place free of any favoritism, is simple.

NO ONE shall be allowed to market ANY services of ANY kind to ANY insured consumer AT THE TIME they are filing a claim.

Insurers can market consumers with their programs before hand. So can repairers, so can networks. But NOT AT THE TIME THEY ARE FILING A CLAIM, which could be misleading to an average consumer to make them believe it is part of their insurance policy, or a service provided by the insurer, that is NOT PART OF THEIR INSURANCE CONTRACT.

Problem solved, no favoritism, no advantage nor disadvantage to anyone.

Unless, of course, there's more going on here than the court and state is being told.

As always, JMHNLO.
