While I like that plan, there are a LOT more people who will scream =

a phishing site.
Since networks are for-profit companies, they'll lower their costs (e.g. =
support calls), as long as it lowers their cost more than the "cost" of =
losing a customer or two (and let's be honest, that is about all they =
_might_ lose) who are religious about the whole "transit means =
everywhere" thing.
