Right.  If anything, MSN, like AOL, CompuServe, and (shudder)Prodigy
before it, will open up the internet to untold millions.  There is no
doubt that more people will be introduced to the internet because of
MSN.

Right.  As with AOL, CS, etc, people outgrow the $2.95 per hour charge.
ISPs provide true SLIP/PPP connections with huge monthly time allotments
(sometimes unlimited).  Unfortunately, ISP accounts also require a certain
amount of savvy on the part of the customer.  This experience can easily
be gained from the online services.
