If you are an ISP or a web page designer the Plain Dealer is trying to put
you out of business. Just look at how the advertising rates in the
monday's personal tech section have doubled. Combine that with the
cut-thoat paranoia that Vantage One carries and you have a group that
wants to monopolize the the Internet business here in Cleveland. 

There are almost 60,000 businesses in Cuyahoga co. alone, C'mon do they
really think they should be the one's who are going to put cleveland on
the www map?

Have you ever noticed that the PeeDee usually rarely features a local
provider or Internet type business? Maybe last week was an exeption
because they had to woo us back after they doubled there rates.

From now on Crain's looks like a better place to put your ads.
