It depends on your contract/market/type of plan etc. Even if you get free
calls, beware of other fees that aren't free (like pre-pay and roaming!)

Free to paying customers. Go figure.

If it's worth anything, if it's part of marketing, it aint free.

That's why I said "D'oh!" in the next paragraph

And, indeed, Comcast *is* the largest cable system operator in the US. Don't
know about the best... but definitely, by far, the biggest.

Then you are saying nights and weekends aren't free with Verizon, right? How
else would some one get our free content from OUR network? If you aren't on
our network (Comcast) well then you can't get the free content. Hopefully
you aren't that stupid. Also, how does news casts and discovery shows in
anyway become marketing material?

The point I was trying to make is that you're not the most obnoxious thing
on Usenet- close, but not quite. Phillipe is someone even you wouldn't want
to be confused with- at least you are able to make a very good argument for
most of your points. We can continue the back and forth pissing match or
not- at this point, I'll leave it to you to decide.

BTW- the setup sounds like a good one (except the PSB's).
