In the UK, the free ISPs are dominating. May not be a bad idea for MSN to go free. Here are the details: Quoting from the BBC - "Free ISPs give UK the lead 1 in 2 home PCs have Net access in the UK, 1 in 4 in France " By Internet Correspondent Chris Nuttall >> "Free Internet access has really boosted the UK market compared to the rest of Europe," said Datamonitor consultant Stephen Adshead, referring to the impact of Dixons' freeserve and its imitators. The survey, which interviewed 12,500 consumers in five countries in March and April, also suggested Net users were not using freeserve as a second ISP (Internet Service Provider) to complement their traditional service provider. Seventy-six per cent of freeserve users were members of only that service, compared to 74% unique users for the next-largest ISP, AOL. And 92% of freeserve's users were satisfied customers compared to 90% at AOL. << news.bbc.co.uk
