RE: UKNM: AOL Going Free

[Bunder, Leslie]

Yes, there's been quite a bit of debate on this in various newsgroups.

Seems they are testing a �14.99 a month package with access via an 0800

number.


With that pricing point there seems to be quite a bit of margin for

them, the only issue is how they plan to stop abusers from treating the

0800 number like a leased line!


With this plan from AOL, the recent news from Cable & Wireless, Localtel

offering Screaming.net, it's going to be an exciting year for innovative

pricinig models!
