JAck, Yes, it makes a lot of sense to have these kinds of net access terminals ubiquitously present everywhere we turn around... one would think that the phone companies would get the hint, buy out all the startups, and just evolve the technical and functional sophistication of the pay phone to this point! WHen the transaction charges for ANY kind of net access approach what the current national base is (ATT home rate is $.07 anytime), then it will never make sense to buy one's own PC or LAN... either use the "pay phone" on the corner, and/or your all purpose handheld. But what is the income source for THRM supposed to be? ADs again? Portals? Doug
