Re: Paltel issue...question

Here is a summery of their strategy for dial up
Paltel will install a Point Of Presence in each major city and assign a
national number for the Internet, let us assume it is 170. Any subscriber
who wants to connect to the Internet would dial 170 and get a login
screen that lists all the ISPs in Palestine. Once the user selects the
ISP he is a subscriber to the system will prompt for a user name /
password then he will be connected to the ISP of his choice. The only
reason that they come up with this strategy is to make use of the $400K +
invested in dial up access servers.  This is my understanding of
their strategy, maybe you get us this strategy in writing ?
