- I read about this in the local paper (Arizona Republic). I want them to
- make money on a product. As a customer, I don't cared to be lied to. I
- tend to think that US West is lying about their cost (although I have no
- other evidence than hearing about $20-30/month rates elsewhere for ISDN.
- Until they get it *close* to the cost of a second line, it is pretty
- much out of the picture for me. And as long as they keep the prices
- high, I see no reason to even consider investing in it.
