As you can tell by the number of known issues and "coming soon" signs around the Blue Hawaii client, we're under going a pretty large overhaul of the AOL software for this beta test. As a result of some of your suggestions we are working on several new features for future testing.

Coming soon, we'll have even more great features for you to test:
We'll polish the design of our toolbar.
A Mail Toolbar Access Panel that will give you quick access to mail without having to open your full mailbox.
An all-new mailbox featuring new search features, easier mail storage and new more powerful mail controls and SPAM controls.
File transfer in IM
A new calendar
HTML composition of E-mail
New AOL Themes, more buddy icons, and animated buddy icons that react to your conversation.
Improved media playback experience for video and audio.

We thank you for your continued patience during this "Under Construction" phase, but the Beta team is convinced that by the time we're done with this next-generation AOL software, you'll be glad you were here for the early stages.

AntiCap Uk’s Objectives:

· To provide a voice for users concerned at the imposition of residential broadband service usage limits.
· To argue the case for the provision of unlimited residential broadband services by UK ISPs.
· To advocate that where limitations can not be removed, they be fair and sensible and relate to demonstrable costs in the provision of service.
· To advocate full disclosure of such limits to existing and prospective customers.
· To encourage ntl:home (and any other offending ISP) to remove their cap and provide the unlimited service that customers signed up for.

ntl:Home 60 day download monitoring period

On 7th February 2003 ntl:Home imposed the 1GB a day download limit cap in an amended
Acceptable User Policy published on the ntlworld.com website. This restriction has not been formally communicated to customers in any other way other than the small link on the ntl website.

In subsequent guidance , ntl have indicated they will monitor usage over a 60 day period before contacting "offending" customers. This monitoring period expires imminently.

AntiCap’s formal launch is timed to meet the challenge of any cap enforcement action that might be imposed by ntl:home.
