I worked at Motorola about 10 years ago on a team that was just there to keep old applications written in the 80s and 90s around so that when non-upgraded customers wanted changes they could pay through the nose for us to dig up their applications and make changes. This was big money for Motorola and I guess the customers thought it was better than going through the upgrades.

The thing that will really chap your hide then is that the post office offered to send items faster if the content providers payed more money. They'd even send DVDs next day if a competitor was willing to pay for it. This kind of outrage is why the post office is only out for them selves and screwing over the customers.
