the fridge comes for free, but has different requirements and features that only the original provider can provide you. Maybe you don't pay for it now, you might down the road. Maybe you'll never have to pay to maintain this fridge. But you see, people are of habits. Once you start using it, you'll probably want to keep it. In keeping it you're locking yourself with that provider for a long time and paying whatever it takes to keep that fridge.

And that's why they call it choice. If you choose to keep it and get locked in, that's your own damn fault. Nobody is twisting your arm.

P.S. Did Columbo get booted off SI?
