using your line of reasoning that gnet knows nothing about isps and therefore should stay out of that business means you think gnet should stay out of bed with PA and broadband for the same reasons... Sorry. I didn't suggest that and it does not in any way follow from what I did say. Broadband content and web commerce is closely related to the type of business GNET is in already. I think it's important to expand the businesses in ways that make them compelling not just for broadband, but also for other new ways of connecting to the content. let PA buy the ISP company and their know how and link it to GNET until broadband comes on board. That part of your suggestion seems just fine if Vulcan decided they wanted an ISP. It would also make sense to do deals with other ISPs that are looking for some kind of exclusive content. Let somebody else lose the money on the problematic free-ISP business model.
