Quent...I was thinking some more about your ISP idea this past weekend...when I was in a COMPUSA store. It was then that I realized something. AOL already offers a discount on computers when people buy them from COMPUSA (as well as several other distributorships) when they buy their computer. So, I buy a computer and get $400 back when I sign up for Compuserve. In order for CPQ to use AV as an incentive, they'd have to offset the incentive most people have to sign up for Compuserve, and that could be a fairly substantial premium......
