Seems to me at as soon as things like a general-purpose browser (and associated TCP/IP stack & PPP or SLIP) becomes as easy to load up as an AOL demo disk, and local ISP's are listed in the yellow pages, the advantage of being able to pay a provider for nothing more than the routing of IP packets so that the net as a whole can be explored (and, perhaps, more services purchased) will FAR outweigh any of the goodies the current big providers offer.
But how many of them will be willing to forward certain newsgroups if doing so carries a mandatory 10 year prison term? Hint: count the number of narcotics dealers that advertize in your local yellow pages. -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred.
