Not to belabor the point, but I still believe you are being unfair to
those who charge for uucp access. True.. the information is free. However,
the telephone lines, equipment, and a system's access to the Internet is
often not. If you have a customer support number, the there are salaries
to be paid as well.
 
I don't know about Info Connections, but CNS is connected to the internet
via a T1, has 800 access, a customer service number, and 6 employees. We
are running on SUN SPARC 10's, and have 50 lines going into the system. We
charge $2 per hour for uucp, slip, or dial-in access.  There is no way
that any individual could cover the expenses that come in every month..
CNS depends heavily on lots of users paying a small price, or else systems
such as these cannot exist. The internet would consist of a bunch of
single line access PCs.. Only through some major company sponsorship could
a service such as this become free.. 
 
I also think that CNS provides a far superior service than the guy out there
with a single telephone line, a PC, and a uucp connection to the internet.
If that is all I was doing, and expenses are just $100 per month, and I
was otherwise gainfully employed, and I had fun doing it, then I might
just call it a hobby and make it free. However, you will find that most
businesses don't want to depend on someone's hobby if they are serious
about reliable internet access. 
 
And the point about setting up new people.. We set up lots of users that
are new to uucp and slip. As you probably know, this is time consuming
work. We do not charge for such consultation to our users. Another way to
do it would be to charge $250/hour (I think that is the amount that you
quoted for your "professional services"), and then subsidize the 
connection costs using consultation money. Personally, I think charging
$250/hr for help is far more outrageous than charging for on line access. 
But if it works, perhaps you have the better business plan.. I can tell
you that if we made all access of any type free, and charged $250/hr for
consultation instead, we would be far more profitable...

December 9, 1992


Norfolk, VA

We at Wyvern Technologies, a Norfolk based Public Access UNIX System,
are pleased to announce that we are expanding operations by becoming a
true Internet node.  We will provide all Internet services, including
ftp, telnet, archie, and IRC.  We will also be featuring a Clarinet
feed with UPI news and other features.  Our connection to the Internet
will be at 56KB with an upgrade to T1 in a short time.  We plan to be
operational at 56KB by February 1, 1993.

We will be installing all new computer and communications equipment and
moving into new office spaces as soon as our incorporation is complete.
To help with our funding, we are offering 500 "Charter Accounts" at
reduced rates, renewable at these rates for life.  This offer is good
for us, because it "front loads" our very expensive upgrades.  It is
good for you because it provides you with exceptionally low prices on a
quality Internet connection.  We are making this offer to our current
customers first, then to the public.  Charter Accounts will be offered
on a first come, first served basis.  All funds for Charter Accounts
will be held in escrow until we begin operations.

We will notify you when we have a firm startup date.  Until then,
Charter Members will be given a FREE account on our existing system,
which provides email, USENET, and more.

Our offer for one year, prepaid accounts (one hour per day, single
user):
	Shell Account (without ftp/telnet)        $90.00
	Shell Account (with ftp/telnet)           $144.00


You will notice that we will bill you for an email/USENET only account
at our current rates of $7.50 per month.  Our ftp accounts are only
$12.00 per month, the lowest in the industry.

Non charter accounts will be billed at a higher rate.

As an added incentive, we are offering a "Headhunter" program:  Receive
one free month of service for every new subscriber mentioning you as a
reference.  The more people you refer to us, the more free time you
receive.  Remember, new customers MUST mention your name when signing
up.

Wyvern Technologies is offering a truly unique and unbeatable deal on
Internet connectivity.  Come join us as we bring information services
in Tidewater and the Eastern Seaboard into the 21st century.

Call Wyvern Technologies at (804) 627-7837 for details.


Sincerely,

Tom Manos

What the hell is so good about PC BOARD 14.5A? May I ask why is everyone
using it? What is so special about it? If I had a choice I'd rather run major
BBS. What's with you guys?!?
