They'd now have to print out hundreds of thousands of bills, pay postage and then process paper checks. I guess they're hedging that people will not do that.

I think people should first leverage Twitter Facebook and other crowd social media to drum up support for getting TMo to reconsider this ill conceived change.
I plan to shop for a better carrier. In the mean time, I am looking at cutting services to compensate for the loss of the autopay discount.
I don't want paper in my mailbox and I don't want to miss payments. So perhaps I'll keep paperless but use my bank's bill pay service to send TMo a hard copy check every month.
