Birney, The issue of free European Internet services was discussed in a Business week article a few weeks ago. While the service is free to the end user, that does not mean the ISP doesn't get paid for the usage. Seems the local telcos charge non-trivial amounts per minute for even local usage. The local telco splits the revenues with the local ISP, so that, between advertising, hosting, and telco split revenues, the ISPS apparently can make out OK to more than just OK. In our case, DCI as CLEC provides ISPs with bandwidth, the ISP provides the application for which on-line users consume minutes, and DCI and the ISP split the revenues. Not the American model, but not the end of the world, either. Neither is not hearing daily from DCI, IMO. If the trading halt is in fact interfering with DCI's ability to make money, they're obligated to tell us so. If it's not, and they want to be as sparing as possible with news until persons can freely trade on that news, that's fine with me, too. Steve
