Definitely.

As an aside, I telephoned BellAtlantic a few minutes ago to ask a few questions about their IP service. One thing I wanted to know about was why they charged a "GSP" each month. The woman told me that $2. is paid to IBM for each account because the service is actually being provided by IBM. She said BellAtlantic does not have the ability to give internet access on its own.

This came as a real surprise to me. I tried to get into IBMs web site to see if they offered internet service on their own or merely provide other companies, like BellAtlantic, with the facilities necessary---then we had a power failure. I'll check later when I have some time.

So, maybe CPQ will pull an IBM in the future and offer internet capabilities to other companies?
