Is anyone out there in a good position to suggest how busy Premium rate
service providers are.

E.G. Top Shelf Sleeze lines, or Chatlines, etc...

I mean there are so many adverts for such "services" I wonder if they are
successful. Guess the must be. Any ideas?

Any information gratefully appreciated.

Regards

Mark-: mdp...@hotmail.com

In December 2000 ICSTIS said:

"....the UK premium rate industry, which, with some 20,000 services
operating at any one time and over 6 million calls made each week to
premium rate lines...."

In 1998 it said there were 4m calls per week and it was a GBP180m
business.

Dunno about the tertiary or quaternary markets, but I think a PC fault
diagnosis service at £1 or £1.50p per minute might be a goer.
