Not only is there a monthly charge, but there is a transfer charge the new carrier must pay to Telecom of about $ 75.00 ! This would seem to me to be quite a disincentive for other carriers to push for new customers if it is going to cost them $ 75.00 to get each one ! Regards Digby	Digby (677)

Regards Digby It already costs $99 to do a "connection" doesn't it?	somebody (208)
