If thats correct, that would >put everyone else out of business :-) Rogers' "Wave" service is described on http://www.rogerswave.ca/wave/release1.htm. Check it out. It is to be available today, I believe, as a commercial service in Newmarket, with rollout to Rogers' whole territory within the next year. According to Toronto Star telecom reporter Bob Brehl, Shaw and Videotron will also be offering "Wave". Bob did a story on the Newmarket trial in the Star a couple of days ago -- he saw it demoed, interviewed pilot users. He seemed impressed. And yes, $39.95 a month is the price cited. ============================================================ LIS ANGUS Tel: 905-686-5050 ext 221 Angus TeleManagement Group Fax: 905-686-2655 8 Old Kingston Road e-mail: lisangus@angustel.ca Ajax Ontario Canada L1T 2Z7 http://www.angustel.ca ============================================================
