RE: Freebox - what's the catch?

[REB.Barnett@xxxxxxx]

I'd wait until they've got on-line credit card ordering sorted. Then if it
is a scam (and it looks like one to me) at least you'll get your money
back.
Has there been a mention of this in the printed media? It would seem
strange
for a company targeting 'consumers' and needing to build a big customer
base
for advertising purposes if this is not the case. Sounds too good to be
true...
