Hoovers Profile:
"The missing ZipLink of Internet access services for Internet appliances and Internet service providers(ISPs) has been found. ZipLink has 19 SuperPOPs(points of presence that allow unlimited local access numbers, expanding the network) in 16 large cities; traffic is routed over a 45-megabits-per-second backbone network. Offering wholesale dial-up services, ZipLink essentially acts as an ISP for ISPs that serve retail customers. ZipLink also provides service for Internet appliances (such as set-top boxes that provide Internet functions through a TV screen instead of a PC), including WebTV. The Zachs family and Northern Telecom own significant stakes in the company."
