It wasn't real clear to me, though, whether I was actually signing up for the service, or just expressing my interest to subscribe along with demographic data for the actual roll-out. We'll wait and see, I guess. are you comfortable with this kind of ambiguity? i am curious: what type of billing arrangements were made... and what area limitations were expressed, if any? why are you so unclear after the sign-up (?) process? (if i have time, i will also check into it later.) I'm hoping for a formal announcement regarding the inferred use of GMGC's agent technology by Microsoft for e-commerce a la XML that you guys have been posting about. what we have inferred may not be at all what they meant to imply, even though it makes perfect sense to us. but in any event, until windows98 ships ( june 25) and lands on its feet, i don't expect to hear anything from msft along these specific lines.
