ROTFL *-)

Hey 'tdma@nospam.hotmail.com', you might want to change your handset pricing
to reflect new market conditions.

Additionally, check the Yankee Group usage reports for average user spec's
(eg. time usage, peak/non peak, etc.., heavy/medium/low users), and their
comparison of all carriers in N.America.

Like I said before, if you can't stand to hear the dog bark, you're standing
to close.
