Yesterday I spoke to a business acquaintance of mine and I was inquiring what was the cost to offer free internet to each subscriber per month. I was told it will cost the company about $1 per subscriber/per month, using unlimited time on the net. He also pointed out one of the largest expenses for an ISP is there billing department. So if you don't bill the public you don't need as many employees in fact saving money. Only my opinion of course but it seemed to make sense as he told it.

" wish you luck. You may be right. But it's not going to happen with Netzero. Again those were European companies providing Internet access for other products or services. Every ISP, which has attempted this in the US, has gone bankrupt. Netzero has nothing others cannot do." You do realize that your above remark is equivalent to saying if you run for public office and lose, you should give up and never run again; or if you go 0-3 in your first three at-bats you're going to strike out in the fourth attempt; or if you flunk the first bar or doctoral exam you should give up and not take a second one. Come on, James. Please get a bit more real here. The fact is the companies you're talking about had nowhere near the number of telephone Internet hookup connection that NetZero has. NetZero is being powered by a Cisco system and its of high quality. I recommend you do some more research instead of just relying on your opinion to make stocks go up or down.
