MM - Free ISP...

Surprisingly, I think most people would not want this. This is, of course, assuming that the reason it's free because you get streaming ads of some sort. If not, then that's pretty good. *g*

Mindspring researched the possibility of offering a reduced or no fee with some type of ads. When they brought up this idea to their "testing" community, 98% of the people *hated* the idea. Some said they would leave if MS went that direction. Others even said they would pay *more* to avoid that!

That kinda settled it for me. Free ISPs will have their few customers, but will never compete with paying ISPs or AOL.

llater,
