The Canadian Press - Toronto reports "Free Internet access poised to sweep North America". Jim Carroll, co-author of the Canadian Internet handbook said free access for Canadians is inevitable. Internet access is becoming a commodity, he said noting that a company in Alberta is already offering free access to clients in Calgary and Edmonton. As with Alta-Vista's new service, Cybersurf Corp. makes money through advertising which is permanently displayed on a portion of the user's computer screen. The Altavista service - the first of its kind offered by a large, band-name Internet company - is similar to Cybersurf's in that users have to click on a number of ads to get to the Internet. "Why continue to pay $240 a year when you can get a perfectly good service for free that meets your needs?" said Charles Rashall, vice-president of sales and marketing at Alta Vista in Palo Alto, Calif. ------this report made no mention of FreeServe - the wealthiest free Internet service - or X-stream, the world's 1st. free Internet service. Cybersurf is a company with about 25% the subscribers of X-stream and the Canadian news media is always making a big deal of the company. The UK news media rarely mentions X-stream.
