I know nothing about this particular service, but I'll share some hard-learned
info about Pac Bell.  When PB says something will happen sometime in the
future, you can be pretty sure it won't happen sooner than that.  And that
is *all* you know.  For just one example, for at least 3 years running
I've heard *vigorous* assurances from PB folks that a Residential
ISDN tariff would be in place by "next Spring" (moving into "this Fall", 
as time goes by.)  Things often seem to be awaiting approval from one
place or another (eg management or PUCC).

Now I hear it'll be this summer.  Well, one of these days it will undoubtedly
actually happen.  And maybe all the noise about ISDN to the K-12 crowd will
provide the necessary push to get a lot of stuff un-jammed.  I hope so.

Nothing against these folks, I know many are working hard.  I'm just saying
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for something that's been announced as
happening sometime in the future.
