Back when Qwest and Netscape announced their alliance, I went to the Netscape home page and signed up with Qwest as my long distance carrier.

I don't make many long distance calls, so it's hard to tell how much I am saving.

However, I received a note in my bill last month stating that on eight dates in 1999 (mostly 'holidays', including Mother's Day!), Qwest was offering up to 30 minutes per day at .01/minute.

Not bad, to say the least. I mean, how do you top .01/minute? Enough to go out and tell your friends to sign up with Qwest...

By the way, that's a nice tradeoff. Netscape signs up to use the Qwest network, and gets a discount. In trade, Qwest gets to advertise on Netscape and pick up a 'few' customers along the way.
