What are the local access numbers for each state for this FREE access... I will also require a minimum of 8MB for web space...and a domain name thrown in. Free is good!!!! Now we just need a hacker to make a program to eliminate those irritating ads that pop up in the browser... This will be good...I do not want to pay a red CENT for access anymore.

All good strategic questions. IMHO, I think the DOJ will be watching this venture closely as it appears to be a move to nullify AOL (and friends) and strengthen MSFT's net standing and desktop all in one go. No doubt MSN will integrate server side products with client side but I can't see them forcing clients to use MSFT specific products; the DOJ would blow a gasket on that one. We haven't begun to realize the ISP and other net stock fallouts that will occur from this. MSFT has the money and the talent to build a web-within-a-web on MSN ... and it will soon have a following to justify it ! MSN ... your one stop web ? ;) James
