Yes, that would obviously be the logic behind it.

What I'm not too happy about personally is that you have to go through your ISP provider. I'm going to be staying at University residence pretty soon and using their WIFI, so as far as I can see Skweezer now not only costs, it's also tricky to access on an individual basis. Also - I don't know if it was just me or not but I didn't notice aoything on their website "warning" us about it. Sure, their privacy policy most likely says they're entitlx to change whatever they want without warning us, but out of courtesy I think that would have been nice none the less. I have a lot of favourites channeled through skweezer which all need fixing now.

I want to point out one thing: why should bn users get special treatment? If the service is valuable to you, why not follow the instructions laid out in the message from Skweezer, instead of asking them to make exceptions just because you use their service? Basically, you are saying that you wish to continue to use something for free because it is useful, yet that very popularity is likely why they needed to monetize the service in the first place. Am I missing something here? I don't wish to offend anyone, I just fail to see the logic of asking for a now paid service to remain free because you use that service.

Dear BrailleNote Users,

This morning I received a message about skweezer no long being free for us to use. I sent them an email and have not yet received a response. I think more people from this list should email them. Tell them how valuable it is to blind users. I use Skweezer to access my gmail account. Please respond as soon as possible.
