You're lying... again.

Alarm Central has been monitoring DIY installations for years and you know
it.  NextAlarm offers UL listed monitoring direct to the public, especially
to DIYers.  There are others I've contacted from time to time but I don't
keep a list.

That would be pretty good if it actually existed outside your mind.

I think they still do.  The first year was (is?) free to the dealer if the
dealer sells one of several packages from certain distributors.  I passed
most of that on to my clients by reducing the first year's monitoring fee
from $151 to $100 if they ordered the service with the system.

You might like to think so but their UL listing is available on UL's
website.  That is sufficient.

Naah.  Let's.  You only post in this newsgroup to pester me.  You've no
other interest here.  Everyone knows it.  You've been repeatedly asked by
numerous other folks to go away because you contribute virtually nothing but
flames.  I'll add my voice to the chorus.  Go away, Olson.
