<TD vAlign=top>Dave - <BR><BR>I'm intrigued to know how your advertising
covers the costs of the calls. We offer free messaging with advertising,
but the ads barely cover the cost of a one minute call. How do you make
any money on say a 30 minute conference call with a handful of connected
parties?<BR>
