Regardless of whether you want it or not. Suppose the new version is bug 
ridden (witness MS IE) and need to reinstall old version. More $$'s

Eureka !! At last. That means the telcos must be going to do something about 
spam - legislation will be changed to make spam like ripping your fax off. It 
has to happen since it will place telstra in the position of providing 
unsolicited goods and services and then charging the end user.

Heh heh heh. I wonder how they'd face that one in court - trying to get a 
subscriber to pay a bill they reckon they don't owe since they didn't ask for 
it  :)
