>>this would indicate to me that they are not selling like they anticipated at this point, that they have to give free service away.<< I disagree. This is no different than when a Supermarket opens in your area and they are basically giving things away at dirt cheap prices to get you hooked on their store. Or AOL and MSN giving away one months free service, etc. The idea is to get you hooked on the service, and then charge you for it. Personally, I think this is a GREAT marketing idea! Just my two bits. Ed
