Ah, thanks Bill. this is more useful. Interesting that it is the web pageless sprint nap that I have had the most complants about. Interesting that apparently connection prices are not quoted in a public place but available from the sales forces. this is beginning to get my attention. If ISPs would be willing to fax me written quotes they have gotten over the last few months, I would compile the data and report on what I find. could be a way of keeping the sales forces honest. since I haven't a clue as to who any of these guys are, i'd be delighted to hear from any NAP provider sales guys who are reading this list. Am i naive if I invite those Nap owners that the RA is paying for a connection and who feel they are charging the RA a fair price to report the amount of such price? ********************************************************************** The COOK Report on Internet Individ. hard copy $150 431 Greenway Ave, Ewing, NJ 08618 USA Small Corp & Gov't $200 (609) 882-2572 phone and fax Corporate $350 Internet: cook@cookreport.com Corporate Site Lic. $650 http://pobox.com/cook/ for new report: "Tracking Internet Infrastructure" *********************************************************************** On Mon, 3 Jun 1996 bmanning@ISI.EDU wrote:
call it what you will! I meant to say **not** used until other efforts have failed. in the meantime, bill has just about stated that current rates are on web pages. As i said a moment ago it would be nice if someone would post them.
Hum, I would expect that actual pricing may not be reflected on Web pages anymore. In fact Sprint does not have a web site for its NAP.
The other pointer I recommended was the Sales Force(s) for each operator. They will be more than happy to provide quotes. Very likely the same quotes as provided to any of their other customers.
