Ah but, one man's junk mail, is another man's information...
Perhaps the one thing drilled into the commercial folks when they first get
a connection to the net is
NO ADVERTISING ON THE NET!!!
I wouldn't be surprised at the lack of information about this on the net. I
know that DRA now only mentions its Internet accessible services in speeches
at conferences, sales demos, postal letters, etc. Which is kind of silly
since most people don't have net access. It'd make more sense to target the
people who already have access. The sales folks seem to spend more time
explaining how to get on Internet than selling our services via the Internet.
