[Fsfe-uk] The Phone Coop

[MJ Ray]

Mark Rodgers has offered to set up an affinity scheme with The Phone 
Coop to raise money for free software in the UK from supporters' 
spending on calls or internet. Payback is 6%. I've met Mark and I 
trust him to do it, for what it's worth. Full details can be read in 
the ALUG archive at

What do fsfe-uk list subscribers think of this?

I see this as complementary to UKFSN.org - I suspect that the payback 
rate from UKFSN will be higher (time will tell) for ADSL, 0845 and 
hosting, while you don't need to register to use the UKFSN 
international calls service, but The Phone Coop also offer UK calls 
and unmetered dialup. I think The Phone Coop may also offer line 
rental, so you could avoid BT Retail entirely (until they break the 
law by junk-mailing you despite being told not to).
