AT&T's charging for a service that others provide free is no surprise
to me. (And you have to get deeply into their terms of service on their
Web page before you find out about the advertising, etc.) It's just
like the many times they have called me, offering me a long distance
service that costs more than my current one. What a bargain! I don't
think AT&T knows anything about competitive pricing.
