Correction on data service. Previously I posted NXTL capability at 96,000 b.p.s. It turns out this is wrong. 96,000 is the "clock speed" I'm told. Comparable modem speed is about 28,800. TCP/IP connection through browser or other TCP/IP app. Rollout early next year. Very small incremental cost to NXTL so very high incremental margins. Co can price well below RAM & ARDIS so could get great market share quickly. They hope to be able to do "bit" pricing rather than per minute pricing. As I understand it, they should be able to price based on the size of the info rather than the time to download it with all the network delays, etc. Apparantly much better for the user. Targeted at heavy data user market. Probably a special unit needed. 2nd line will have distinct ring. Billing to home in 1998 some time. Sorry if I butchered the King's English. Bubba
