Date: Tue, 25 Jan 1994 14:03:07 +0500 From: francis@avalle.insoft.com (John [Francis] Stracke) To: com-priv@psi.com In-Reply-To: Pete Cottrell's message of Tue, 25 Jan 94 13:34:09 -0500 <9401251834.AA24493@zippy.cs.UMD.EDU> > Anybody here from MCI able to assign credit? > >I think I would have asked the question as "Anyone here from MCI able to >assign the blame?" > I see these ads as >pure gloss that barely touches on what they're actually referring to >and doesn't touch at all on any of the substantive issues (cost, privacy, >equity, etc) associated with making an "information highway" a reality. No argument. But, before people think about the substantive issues, you have to convince them that it's worthwhile. Then they get interested enough to pay for it, and that pays the salaries of the people who make it real. These ads stand a good chance of opening people's eyes to the fact that the Net is something new, unlike the AT&T ads which are basically pushing it as an extension of the cable company. /===========================================================================\ |John (Francis) Stracke | My opinions are my own. | |InSoft, Inc. |==================================================| |Mechanicsburg, PA | I'm not a bibliophile, I'm a bibliophiliac. | |francis@insoft.com | Put me in a bookstore, & my wallet bleeds. | \===========================================================================/
