Well we have had to take a second look at the costs for our commercial
ISP service after using Juno and seeing for ourselves that it is a real
and substantial Internet email service. Another company by the name of
Freemark (i think) also provides free email service, although we have not
tried it and do not know how it compares to Juno. One thing is for sure
now is probably not the most opportune time to sign long term service
contracts for Internet access.
