Hi Richard,

Yeah I hear what you're saying.......but I also know that people do pay more for something because that's what they are used to or comfortable with.....Some examples: Apple Computers (how else do these guys stay in business), Starbucks Coffee (for that matter, any kind of specialty coffee shop).

You also have to take into account that half of $20 is only $10 a month. Now I know some of you are gonna think "Hey $10 is $10!", but even paying $20 its still half as much as any other utility bill...and I'm willing to pay it and get the extra features along with the internet access offered by other services. Also, it is still the simplest way to get online (even I had problems getting hooked up with Earthlink) and people will pay for that simplicity. Because of this simplicity, I think they will be able to attract many of the "unexploited masses" and beign to exploit them (I know some of you guys will like that last part.)

Gotta go.... thanks for the comment Richard.

Mike
