Stitch, how do you travel around maintaining all your internet accesses? Do you have a provider that gives you many local access points throughout Asia, or do you spend a fortune on dialing charges? What do you think of AT&T buying IBM's internet service? Do you see a strong move coming for global access? What sort of premiums do you are paid for having internet access around the world? In my case, I just keep 2 accounts. One here in Australia and one in California. I bought AT&T leaps a couple months ago and the premiums were extremely low for expirations in Jan 2001. They've been going up. I think their move into TCI is brilliant. Maybe the move into IBM's global presence combined with their strong partnership with BT will develop another angle that is very interesting. Any thoughts from the ultimate road warrior would be welcome. Regards, Mark
