By explaining the benefits of broadband. If people are dumb enough to
subscribe to AOL dial-up at 30 bucks a month, they can very easily
understand the transition. Paying for a second line to do dial-up video
verification isn't the answer IMO. Just look at the transmission costs in
comparison, along with what you'll need at the Central. I've built a 48
position Interactive CMF using all dial-up...the costs are painful, and
passed on to the end users. It's also slow and not very efficient...but it
does work. I just see what it costs both parties to implement.
