CYBERSURF ("CY-Y;CYBUF-L") - Cybersurf's 3web Network Becomes Largest Isp In
Calgary
Cybersurf is pleased to announce that its 3web Network has become the largest ISP
in Calgary, with a continuous user base in excess of 60,000. Since its Calgary launch
on August 8th, 1998, 3web has seen a new user subscriber rate of several hundred
per day, and Cybersurf projects 100,000 continuous users by summer. Cybersurf is
currently negotiating new points of distribution for 3web's free installation CDs in
Calgary and Edmonton. The 3web software is currently available on CD ROM at
Cybersurf headquarters in Calgary, and as a free download at 3web.net.
The free 3web software has been made more accessible to the public by placing it on
www.3web.net. Calgarians who currently use an existing paid-for Internet service can
now download the full (3web plus Netscape communicator) or partial (3web only)
software suite and never pay for Internet access again.
Recently the 3web.net site was modified enabling users to download the 3web
version 2.0 software suite. This feature not only enables Cybersurf to distribute the
software without underlying cost but it also enables Cybersurf to track the previous
ISP's of each person downloading the software. This information has shown
increased awareness and that the 3web Network is equal or superior to all other ISPs,
including some of 3web's high-speed competitors, as an enhanced Internet Provider.
The results of the aforementioned statistics can be seen on the site at
3web.net
The 3web Network is a proprietary software application that was developed by
Cybersurf Interactive Media, a division of Cybersurf Corp. It offers its Calgary and
Edmonton users a powerful and secure portal to anywhere on the World Wide Web,
as well as Email and E-commerce functionality. The 3web Network is subsidized by
commercial advertising, and is 100 per cent free to the user. Cybersurf's proprietary
3web advertisement-supported technology is unlike any other in existence, in that it
brings highly targeted, demographically-specific advertising to the user's desktop.
While traditional portals spawn advertising within a web browser (making it easy to
bypass), 3web's portal operates independently of any Web browser and can never be
hidden or disabled. No matter where the user travels on the Internet, 3web's
advertising is always visible. It is because of this feature that advertisers on 3web can
be guaranteed exact impressions and can target highly specific demographic profiles.
To view examples of 3web in context with Netscape's browser, simply visit
3web.net. If you wish to have a better understanding of
Cybersurf's proprietary technology, and of the 3web Network's intelligent advertising
capabilities, visit 3web.net to download the full 3web interactive
overview (56MB).
