I would sure like to hear more on this DellNet too. This is not a small move by MD.

1) They are offering it in England now and France, Germany soon.
2) Free internet service (but you have to pay for the local phone charge).
3) MD is hooking up with Excite@Home for content (thus T, who controls ATHM, is involved).

My questions:

1) Where is the cash cow? How does MD make money?
2) Is there a USA roll out planned?
3) ATHM, of course, has internet broadband access. Is there some kind of DELL/T/ATHM deal being looked at?

Anybody know?
