I feel the same way about paying for ISP.
(I use ISDN for this very reason.)
I would rather pay than clicking on ads
at least once an hour (ala Alta Vista deal.)
Someone said that ISP is free in England but
later I heard that they pay for the local
connection. We do have it very reasonable in
US, typically about $20 for unlimited access.
However, there are people want it free and not
all free ISP are bad either. This business is
getting re-defined and until Friday, it is better
to stay side line. If the market gets firmer,
I would be more reluctant to buy MSPG than ELNK
in this new ISP trend even though I think MSPG is
a good company.

Re. buyout. No, I did not hear anything. I was
only joking as buyout rumor pops up quite often.
It is wishful thinking but also signify the
possiblity of consolidations in this business.
