I just saw a short article in the newspaper that says AT&T has announced
an electronic mail service that sends a short message for 40c and a few
pages of stuff for 80c.  If you want it printed and mailed to the
recipient, it's $2 extra, and if you want messenger delivery it's like
$22 extra.

The article also mentions that "AT&T has been using it internally and
testing it with 200 outside companies".

Are they talking about the uucp network, or is this something else?
Where do the prices come from, and how does the whole thing tie together
for someone who has e.g. an MSDOS machine at home?
