He's right though. That's the new deal and I didn't see a choice as you
mentioned though I just looked into it today. Btw, I, for one, happened to
notice the 'fine print' and it turned me away.

I think 4phun's 'correctness' about this lies in the semantics. What Vz is
saying is that "ACCESS" is free, which it is. But USAGE isn't. These word
games are fair game in advertising and promotion.
