I actually cancelled it about 7 minutes after posting it when I
came here and realized it was super-redundant besides. But some
people are interested in it and I have two friends who still have
only text connections through universities (not students) who don't
like the cursor movement with lynx and I get used to sending them
full text. People can judge for themselves, eventually.
Business wise, it's available in Oakland and people I know are
interested and would like to see anything they can get. I link to a
few articles but have text ready for those without easy web access.

I haven't read the SBC/FCC article yet. Does this apply to the
prefixes already 'eligible' for the service?
