MSN for $4-5/month ------------------------------- Tuesday August 10 12:50 AM ET Shopping Web Site Offers Free MSN Internet Access SEATTLE (Reuters) - A new online shopping club announced a promotion Monday that offers free Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) Internet access service. Under the limited-time offer, customers who sign up for MyShoppingClub.com will get Microsoft's MSN Internet access free with the price of membership, which is $59 for one year, or $99 for two years. That is far cheaper than the regular MSN price of $19.95 a month for unlimited access. The MyShoppingClub.com service will provide discounts and incentives to shop at selected affiliated web sites. The deal is being offered by Lan Plus Inc., a Los Angeles-area computer maker that also offers a free computer to customers who pay in advance for three years worth of MSN Internet access. Lan Plus plans to launch the MyShoppingClub site soon. MSN has been considering cutting the price of access in its battle with America Online Inc. (NYSE:AOL - news), far and away the leader with nearly 20 million subscribers to its two main services, an estimated 10 times Microsoft's total. Offers of free Internet service have been gaining in popularity, led by NetZero Inc., now among the top providers with 1.2 million subscribers. Another provider, Surfree.com, announced a deal Monday that allows users to reduce their monthly fee on a sliding scale that ranges from $14.95 a month to zero, depending how much extra advertising they are willing to view.
