Those were intended to be two separate thoughts.

One being "I can't believe how easy it was to connect to B&N's high speed
system.

And, the other, once connected, you really can't do much (except visit B&N's
books for sell page) without further connecting thru something like SBC's
freedomlink which is pay for service.

Then there was a third thought (implied), who likes what service (i.e. SBC's
and/or other) and what does it cost, and where are such access points.

I don't mind spending dollars (prefer not to) but, I don't want to paint
myself into a corner such that access is greatly restrict to a few not, so
handy places (i.e. B&N).
