But at least it would make those boys €€CASH€€. About it not making any difference to the customers...well if the parent company had a different philosophy to Eircom's "don't share philosophy" well that *might* permeate though to Eircom. One can but wish and hope. b About selling Eircom to Swisscom, well I guess it might not be of any intereset to have a company with 0 debt buying Eircom.

When I was scanning through my feedreader I saw the heading, and tbh, I actually thought it was about freeworlddialup.com. I know FWD and FON have two different letters, but, well it was a quick scan. BUT! To be fair to me, I did mention I read it here, on this post: http://www.runningwithbulls.com/blog/2005/10/22/fones-spanish-isp-wants-its-customers-to-share-wifi/ saying: "Actually now that as I write this, I remember reading this on Antoin’s eire.com site, about Martin Varsavsky. " So, I am vindicated! Please forgive me ;) bernard Hi Antoin,

They would probably pay in cash anyway. It wouldn't make any difference for customers either.
