Here it comes, theregister.co.uk MSN in low-cost access promo US discount store Costco Online is offering MSN access to the Net at a rock-bottom price. New and existing users can subscribe to MSN in the US for just $11.99 a month, according to the promotion. Access to MSN usually retails at $19.95 a month. There was speculation that MSN could cut the cost of its service following a report this week in the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ claimed Microsoft bosses were looking into low-cost Net access for the US. "We intend to be aggressive with access," said Brad Chase, VP of Microsoft's new consumer and commerce group. Despite MSN's aggressive stance AOL has no plans to cut the cost of its service. A spokeswoman for AOL told The Register that AOL had no plans to follow suit and enter a price war with MSN. "AOL continues to be the dominant [Internet] service of mainstream consumers," said Trish Primrose of AOL Corp. People continue to opt for AOL even when we put up our price to $21.95 a month she said. ®
