AOL launches in Britain and warns rivals to beware
LONDON, Aug 24 (Reuters) - AOL Europe, the joint venture between America Online Inc (NYSE:AOL - news) and Germany's Bertelsmann AG (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: BTGGga.F), launched its subscription-free Internet service in Britain on Tuesday while warning rivals to beware.

Taking on Britain's market leader Freeserve Plc (quote from Yahoo! UK & Ireland: FRE.L) and around 200 smaller Internet competitors, AOL took out full-page advertisements in leading British newspapers for its service, Netscape Online.

Under the banner: ''Beware part-time Internet providers...the N is nigh,'' the company hopes to make up lost ground after being wrongfooted when Freeserve began offering Internet access with no monthly free in Britain.
