Earthlink getting attention now. They are cash rich. I am an Earthlink subscriber since MIndspring. Call yesterday regarding going to DSL with them rather than still dialing up. They had a special promo of 9.99 for 6 months and then increasing at end of 6 months to regular price. So they are marketing. Since earthlink works tremenduously well-------with spamm blocking, suspect mail and the system I am what you would call a loyal subscriber so not about to get lost in the Verizon or other networks. mj _________________________________________________________ Reposting from a previous message on this site. Not pumping just interest as a possible investment----not in this now. October market is just plain treacherous but buying ops will be there with this shakeout. "And EARTHLINK (ELNK ) founder Sky Dayton is busy setting up a premium mobile service for early next year -- it's a joint venture between EARTHLINK and Korea's SK Telecom and targeted at heavy data users, including gamers and video downloaders (see BW Online, 6/22/05, "Sky Dayton's New Flight Plan"). Dayton says he sees plenty of opportunity "to bring a cool, new vibe to an industry that has been dominated by some pretty monolithic companies."

These "walled gardens" are faring better than browsers, say analysts, in large part because they're simpler to use. "
