Prodigy is sponsored(probably co-owned as well) by Sears and IBM last time I checked. I think the major thugs at IBM don't want any other computer types on their system(do I sense a little hostility from IBM?) and they claim to have about 250,000 subscribers already, which they say is second only to Compuserve with about 500,000 subscribers. Prodigy plans to have local dial-in numbers for most parts of the nation pretty soon and thinks that it will catch Compuserve. I don't think this is a big loss for us Amiga users. Maybe Commodore can start-up an Amiga-specific network.(?) That would be pretty cool. I know, I'll keep dreaming.
