The BT decision to offer free net access is new.... ..but is only responding to the inevitable, and doesnt alter the arguments. (why would anyone use their service which was an extra 1.5c/minute for less capabilities than the other 'free' services. ) They are just one more free service, nothing new. BTW, in case people think they really are free (I use Freeserve, which was the first major free UK ISP), you should see my phone bill!! Brings a new meaning to the word 'free'. Aprox $150 for the last 3 months of 'free' access. (local calls at about 1.3c/min) I have seen AOL adverts on TV here in the UK which I view as a response to these free services. Majors on controlling net access for children, how easy it is, how technical assistance is free, they are aimed at newbies, but that is of course the biggest market. Joe
