Kennedy Jr. & Associates Pipe Creek, TX Lines: 9 Keywords: Stargate news The rest of the discussion aside, Stargate makes sense to me on a dollar and cents basis. At current pricing and ignoring economies of scale the Stargate broadcast is nearly a fourth of the present telephone cost. It doesn't carry some of the groups but if I want them I can still get them from my telephone feed. With subscription volume the Stargate rates can go down, the phone bill can not. -- Thank you, Bill Kennedy {ihnp4!petro | sun!texsun!rrm}!ssbn!bill
