I didn't say that none of the experiments have been commercial, I said
*most* have not.  The ones that *have* been have been the most
discouraging.  As I said before, only business users seem willing to
really pay for the data, and they're not all that happy with the sort
of material they have access to on these systems.  

I might add that to keep things "cheap", most systems have *very*
simple keyboards (useless for real typing) and of course the standard
videotext return path is 150 baud -- barely adequate for reasonable
typing.  (1200/300 would be a better, though more expensive, choice).

When people have to pay ANYTHING (per page) for videotext sorts of
data, it appears that usage falls off VERY rapidly.
