It expires very soon, either June or July. No further explanation should be required as to how much of a Bad Thing this could potentially be. If it remains unchallenged, and Bell converts everyone to local measured service, I'm strongly considering doing without a phone. [Moderator's Note: I'm sure they'll miss you as a customer. :) PAT]
