another NR for PGPG - plans to set up a national ISP using the Browsesafe premise for net minding. Now - to do this - they gotta have some bucks or alignments I suspect. Time to fess up what they have been up to for the past couple of months. They already have deals with AOL and MSFT - so how are they gonna pull off a national ISP? To make a claim like that, there must be some big pockets coming in to back them.
