Hi tg & Lynn - not sure if it is a misunderstanding of language, to me it is unlikely NT is going to get any direct telecom service revenue out of the offering, even if it is not subject to regulatory restriction. Rather, it is a product NT sold to FON, which in turn becomes a value-added service to FON subscriber, a la carte or in conjunction with other services like long distance. Of course, NT will continue to benefit, if this service becomes popular, from revenues derived from systems upgrades etc. Also, branding is another intangible revenue. Just my 2c. best, Bosco

Dear telecomguy: >where does it say that NT is going to bill the service? Go to this page and click on, "F.A.Q.," on the right side of the top, red band: csg.sprint.com A small window will come up. Now click on, "Subscription," in the Overview section. Click on, "How much does Sprint Internet Call Waiting cost?" The last paragraph of this section says the $4.95/month (after the free, trial period) is, "... billed monthly by Nortel Networks." Sorry I can not cut and paste to show you exactly what it says, but I think my instructions are good enough so you can find the area without too much trouble. Also, here is information on Internet Call Waiting (ICW) from NT's site: nortelnetworks.com Notice the line on the left that reads, "Related information: Subscribe now?" Well, that was not there a few days ago [the reason I signed up though Sprint's site]. This is the page that comes up: extremevoice.com Regards, Lynn BTW, my bookmark for the Sprint page noted above reads, "Sprint Internet Call Waiting - Solutions by Nortel."
