Free ISP?

via MacWeek

>Paris -- France is moving decisively into the era of free Internet access. The proliferation of free offers can only drive demand further and put France at the head of the list of Wired nations.

However, these moves may prove economically risky to local Internet service providers. For more than two months, ISPs have been standing at the threshold of free service. After having seen the price of subscriptions drop, the time is approaching when users won't have to pay for them at all. But bear in mind that "free access" is a relative term in France: Your France Telecom bill will continue to arrive faithfully in your mailbox.<
