I didn't assume anything...you said that the rebate cost CPQ money...and it doesn't. As for NetZero, they pay movie theatres via FREE advertising. It's a barter arrangement. What, are they going to give CPQ free advertising? If CPQ fell for that BS, I'd agree....they are stupid. CPQ would HAVE to pay because NetZero (and all free ISPs are having $$$$$ problems already). NetZero needs to create REAL paying relationships and not BS barter ones. As I said - you gotta be in this business to understand how the dynamics work and what's real and what's BS.
