What charges are you reffering to? They are both free and are both optional.

You think SBC is going to do this out of charity? The 'charges' will be increased rates to the end users -- those with and without PCs -- those with and without existing firewalling solutions. I'd rather see them charge for an OPTIONAL service individually to people that NEED it rather than be REQUIRED to pay for it at any level.

Re: SBC

Well, umm..

It's one of your premium services available for subscribing to SBC Yahoo! DSL. It's only free in that sense, it's not a something for nothing. You get two free premium services from SBC Yahoo, and one of them can be a firewall, i dont see how that will impact the rest of the people with increased rates.

Yeah, your post doesn't make much sense. The trial edition of ZoneAlarm is free for anybody. If anything maybe ZA is paying them to distribute in the hopes that some SBC Customers will decide to upgrade and buy their product. Every SBC Yahoo! customer gets to select premium services. You can get extra e-mail space, online space, as well as other options. On of those other options will soon be the antivirus. So if you don't need or want the antivirus option there are still plenty of other options. And if you go to an SBC forum here and ask anyone if they are upset for what they are paying for you will get a real big no.
