Skeeter, Supposedly competition is there, but sometimes it is muted by the difficulty in discovering and comparing prices. I work as a consumer advocate. I've recently hit on an idea in this area for long distance rates. I've been frustrated myself in obtaining the best long distance rates and have opted for simply switching among the providers from time to time as introductory deals expire. I'll share it with you as I get it more developed. I hope to cause some folks some consternation in our state. <g> Supposedly, being able to compare prices shouldn't make much of a difference except at the margin <g>
