I read the article on news.com and was suprised to read that AmEx is limiting participation to a limited group of US card holders. As far as I know, I never recieved any invitation from them to join, and I have signed up several times using 2 separate AmEx cards. this service seems pretty cool and although i think its the stupidest business plan (even stupider than selling petfood or toys online), it is really helping me coz my DSL is capped and I just line up all my mp3's and other useless junk in napster before I goto bed everynight. Of course I never click any of their banners because Im sleeping, but it wouldn't matter because I kill the gluon application anyway so banners never show up. Anyway hope this lasts, but in all honesty if I was the head of AmEx, i'd have fired the employee who came up with this idea. See, lay offs aren't so bad when it gets rid of people who want to run a free ISP like it's 1998.. geez.
