Announcing a new mailing list for ISPs unfortunate enough to operate in one of US West's 14 states: Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico The purpose of the list is an attempt for ISPs to gain strength in numbers and support each other in dealing with our favorite telco, US West, as well as dealing with our respective Public Service Comissions to force US West to "play fair". As you probably know, US West is in the process of introducing DSL in 40 markets. The co-marketing of USWEST internet access via USWEST.NET ALONG with the DSL line is a major problem and the current hot topic on the mailing list. The ISPs in Oregon and Washington (who happen to have Public Service Comissions with a spine) have won important concessions in regards to DSL and the marketing of it. It is very simply to subscribe, just send an empty email to: uswisp-subscribe@lists.nm.org To unsubscribe send one to: uswisp-unsubscribe@lists.nm.org Please forward this email to any ISPs which could benefit.
