> Nah, ClaraNET have started something similar That's different. The point about the other service is that BT runs it: if they are doing it by cross-subsidising their ISP from profits made on phone calls then this would be deemed unfair competition and disallowed. That is the irony of the non-free BT click service: while Freeserve is allowed to get a cut of the money you pay to BT for your local call, BT click is not - hence their need to charge you an extra penny per minute on top of the call cost. > See http://www.clara.net > as > I expect they'll have a big announcement about it. Well they do, but it doesn't tell you how they achieve it. Do you call them up on your normal BT line or what? imc
