Duke - <I think you are about to run slam dunk into a REAL Monopoly. Even though Intel will give you free isp. The phone company as of now, will charge $30-$40 per month for the connection AND will require you to pay $10-$15 for Pacbell.net even if you already have an ISP.> I currently pay ~~$50 / Mo for ADSL, 30 to phone company and 20 to ISP. I would guess the bill will go down (maybe to zero?) depending on what the Intel package entails. PB

Duke <The phone company as of now, will charge $30-$40 per month for the connection AND will require you to pay $10-$15 for Pacbell.net even if you already have an ISP. ...BTW, my guess is that this represents a revenue stream to the Rboc of 120 Million dollars per month, for California only.> $120M per month? 70,000 employees (in whole company per press release) x $55/month (highest values above) is less than $4M/month. Still not a small number but much less than $120M. PT
