"Is that all the company can do, run a rear guard action by laying down counter fire to prevent from being overrun?" Hi Ah- On the surface, offering free dialup is just an attempt to build name recognition, increase Excite traffic, and "hopefully" build the broadband subscriber base. If the venture is a break even, who cares? If it eventually signs up just 1% of the users to broadband, wouldn't it be worth it? Having said that, I don't want management's attention to be diverted from their broadband strategies. I hope this free ISP venture is a part of their overall game plan. Ed
