                Gee that is really is not acceptable to me...how about a higher
                cap for more money....say $20 for 30 additional hours and 10
                dollars for another 30, and 10 more for unlimited PCP usage?

Gee I thought that the whole purpose was to make a little money on some network equipment
when it was not being used.  The original concept some how got lost in there somewhere.
It seems that everyone I know is going to drop PCP as soon as the time limit goes into
effect.  When the Consumer Utilities Board took away Call-Pak (metro service to some)
here in chicago the people did not complain loudly enough as they tried to do the same thing
in Indiana and CUB got shot down.  If the idea is to  make PCP profitable then maybe it
just another case of corporate greed as the equipment is going to be there if it is used
or not.  I cannot imagine that PCP is not profitable.  I am going to wait and see what
happens and if it goes into effect then I am going to cancel my account.

Any opinions expressed are my own.  Now, for a limited time, they can be yours
too, for the incredible price of only $19.95.  Simply send $19.95 (in Alterian
dollars) to ...killer!jolnet!rich or rich@jolnet.orpk.il.us.
