I realize arguing against analogies is troublesome, but I think the
following rebuttals of mine show how some people feel I've talked to:

Was it so long ago that you've forgotten you had to pay extra for
air-mail?  I'd say that mail delivery, while it has ups and downs,
has gotten better over time.  More service for more money, not less for
more.

And there are plenty of competitors who charge a lot less.  PCP has
virtually no competition right now.

Agreed, and many will choose not to use it.  If enough, then Telenet
will realize it made a mistake!
