"What the hun says and what the does are two different things"?... Huh? Ok, I don't agree there. Let me explain...

As a lot of people guessed here 62 cents a minute stated before people even download something is not a rip-off rate. (70 eurocents is about 0.62$) I NEVER said I was against dialers, I always says I was against rip-off dialers that charge an arm and a leg. In many discussions before I made this statement. How can I be against something that is clear (100%, not 80% by tucking away the rate), fair priced and that works?

There was a reason I didn't like most dialers... and that was the consumer rate. Today dialers still promise the world and high per-minute-payouts with no statement whatsoever on the consumer price. All dialers that bring up the "no dialer ads please"-message when submitting are charging over 2 dollars a minute.

A dialer can be fair, it can offer a fair rate, and it can be used as a great money making tool. There just needs to be a company that looks at both the consumer pricing as well as the webmaster payout for me to get behind it. And I can't do anything else then be behind this one. 62 cents a minute is a fair price. 46 cents per minute are paid to the webmasters.

I'm no hypocrite. I basically go by one rule: take care of the surfer. A surfer shouldn't be screwed out of his money. When they know what they'll get and when they know what they'll have to pay they don't mind paying. I am against ripping people off, I'm against blind/misleading advertising, but how can I be against this?
