What there IS a difference between an antenna and a doughnut???? I am shock! ;-) I think that this service is a good thing. The only problem I could see is if the acid distro is forgoten by the service that need to be done on this new thing... Or if someone start using codes for this new service ,only there and if we want new fonction or bug fix, we would need topay for the subscription..Damn I hope I did not gave some idea to anyone here...

But that's not amateur radio. Whatever happened to the "experiment" and "build" and "test". Today, most of the new people don't know an antenna from a doughnut. That's a sad commentary for where amateur radio has gone.
Well....for some thats a great option. Micro-Node International stuff is well designed, can't go wrong there... Companies that host your website charge,ISP's charge,VoIP service providers charge....
I saw this one on line....A "Service" that allows you to use their WORLD CLASS Elecraft K-3 (all 4 of them) remotely so you don't have to install anything at your home.Just sign on, hammer down and be a "Big Dawg".So what does this cost? (Kevlar underwear time).... The "Package" starts at a Paultry $3000 a year (no transmit time included) and goes all the way to $7000 a year (includes TX time and you can reserve it for your contest time)...... Hows THAT for HAM radio with a dollar sign in mind????

For those who just *DONT* want to (or for some reason can't) go through the process of setting up a Linux system, dealing with its administration, configuring hardware, etc., there is now a "hosted", subscription-based solution that, along with a Micro-Node International RTCM (Radio Thin Client Module) (or a generic Voter board), makes a nice "no-brainer" Allstar node installation.
Attached is the "initial marketing blurb" from Micro-Node.

P.S. Sorry for this being a blatant advertisement regarding a for-pay service. It seemed appropriate. If you don't agree, please try not to send *TOO* many "flaming spears" in my direction :-) :-).
