Two adult Web site operators in the U.S. are settling up charges that they connected their subscribers via an international phone line to Madagascar (that huge island in the Indian Ocean). Of course, those subscribers had no idea what was going on, until they got their phone bills and noticed unspeakable sums in the "pay this amount" column. They probably could have flown to the island in first class for a cheaper rate. The sites are paying back more than $26,000 to settle the charges.
