Tuning into WebTV

Before your mouth starts watering for the Web sites you�ve been craving, you�ve got to take care of a few administrative details. Luckily, WebTV doesn�t let you get bored for too long. They guide you through the path in a jiffy, and then you�re free spirit ready to roam the Web.
1.Dial�When you initially click the Web button on the remote, the modem will dial an 800 number to WebTV Networks.
2.Local Access�Once you�ve reached the 800 number service, WebTV Networks assigns you a local access number so that you�re only charged for a local call each time you make a connection to the Web.
3.Personal Information�You may have thought the Web transformed us into inhumane electronic signals running through the air, but WebTV Networks personalizes the process. They want to know who you are and where you live.
4.Credit Card�You knew that you�d have to crack open your wallet and pay up at some point. The $19.95 per month charge goes on your credit card.
5.And Go�Get going, get connected, and get outta here. It�s time to go wild on the Web!
