What's that you say?

Competitors aren't rushing to follow America Online Inc.'s lead by raising rates
for unlimited access. But at least one Internet service provider, EarthLink
(www.earthlink.net), is moving quickly to capitalize on AOL's move in an effort to attract new business. In addition to holding the line on its own $19.95 monthly
access rate, EarthLink has announced a "Get Out of AOL Free" marketing offer
that targets unhappy AOL members. EarthLink is offering to switch AOL
members to its service at no charge and even send out special change of address
e-mail messages to their friends. "AOL just raised the price of inferior service.
We're sticking to our $19.95 per month pricing, and we'll continue to welcome
new AOL graduates to the EarthLink family.'' said EarthLink chairman Sky
Dayton.
