I started thinking about what we can do about USR and their satanic hunt for money. Then I said HEY, we have access to the people USR likes - those that buy modems! So, I am officially starting a campaign to organize small ISP's that will formally recommend to users that they NOT BUY USR MODEMS. Simple enough, we have plenty of options for modems. I represent a potential base of over 21,000 users that I can recommend equipment for. The way I see it is we ask for certain things for all small ISP's with under 50,000 subscribers (number can change) o Reasonable cost for software updates to TC chassis o Reasonable cost for CEM/TCM/whatever If you would like to throw your weight behind this send a private e-mail to me To: steve@napanet.net Subject: USR Boycott Campaign Include your name and contact info, company, commitment to refuse endorsement of USR modems to your customer, and number of subscribers. I think if we work together and show 3com that we are going to take away half a million potential customers we can get USR/3com to change policies. ACT NOW Steve
