So flat rate unlimited internet access is going to "meltdown" the telephone
system?  

I guess that is why PacBell sent me an ad in yesterday's mail that says
on the back of the envelope, "Get up to 5 months free UNLIMITED [emphasis
theirs] access to the Internet."

Maybe they just want to drive the other ISPs out of business.
