Steve I have read several stories that alluded to AOL's dropping fee's in the UK very recently. I have also read a kick back # from the UK teleco's. I don't have the articles handy but memory tells me the % that comes back to the ISP is between 20% and 30%. Vendit

Steve I think you will be interested in this: AOL's European Strategy Emerges Through various sources, we have now pieced together a map of how America Online will win on a continent where "Free" is dominating. First, America Online will launch all-inclusive flat rate pricing for European customers. Instead of dealing with per minute charges, AOL users will pay one monthly fee for unlimited access to the service. This will make AOL an appealing alternative to the "Free ISPs," whose pricing structure limits prolonged usage. This all-inclusive pricing gives America Online a huge advantage for marketing and merchandising. Compared to other net service providers in Europe, AOL's unlimited users would likely spend much more time online, similar to their American counterparts. That will allow AOL to build out its European model much like the domestic picture, with access fees covering network costs and marketing and merchandising providing the profits. streetadvisor.com Vendit
