O/T Radar , XSNI ,re the "free" ISP.... "The telecommunications regulator Oftel told the Commons' Trade and Industry Select Committee on Monday that UK Net users could now get cheaper access than their counterparts in the United States, where local calls are usually free. It produced tables for MPs which showed someone online for 20 off-peak hours a month with Freeserve, and with their phone line to the exchange provided by Telewest, paid the equivalent of $21.87 a month compared to $39.77 for a user in America." "But the Campaign for Unmetered Telecommunications (CUT), a group of Net users pushing for free local calls in the UK, has criticised Oftel's reliance on the OECD report." Wait till they get the Toll Free phone bill in ( they use toll free as local calls are mostly chargeable) I think the freebies wil be over. Most ISP's can't make it charging $20 a sub, let alone paying T/F charges. Great call nontheless Scouser
