The press release! Attention News/Technology Editors: Free Internet access and free e-mail with HomeFreeWeb.com Canada's First National Free Internet and Free E-mail Provider Launches Today TORONTO, Nov. 9 /CNW/ - Internet access is now free across Canada thanks to HomeFreeWeb.com. Launched today by Canadian company TurboShuttle Inc., HomeFreeWeb is a Canadian internet service provider, offering the first, national, ``made in Canada' solution for unlimited free internet access and free e-mail. ``HomeFreeWeb.com is offering Canadians the ideal alternative to paying monthly fees for internet access and e-mail,' says Garry Hubers, President and CEO, TurboShuttle Inc. ``Now Canadians can have unlimited free and fast internet access from a Canadian company - what could be better?' To subscribe to HomeFreeWeb.com, users simply need to register and then download HomeFreeWeb.com's proprietary software from its web site at www.homefreeweb.com. This free software allows subscribers unlimited internet access and an e-mail account without the monthly fees most ISPs charge. In addition to free internet access, the major advantage of HomeFreeWeb.com's service is its unique ability to guarantee better up time than most users' local, paid ISPs. HomeFreeWeb.com's proprietary software constantly seeks out the most efficient ISPs in each region to help ensure uninterrupted service for subscribers. The result is that if an ISP goes down, HomeFreeWeb's software will automatically connect users to another ISP in that region - meaning fewer busy signals and less down time for HomeFreeWeb users. Utilizing local ISPs means enhanced remote access capabilities. Subscribers can surf the web and check their e-mail from cities across Canada without worrying about long distance charges or sourcing local numbers from their service provider. HomeFreeWeb.com will offer subscribers highly targeted content including special online features, contents, prizing and entertainment for every age group and user profile. HomeFreeWeb.com's cartoon-style and user-friendly site makes web access and e-mail a breeze, even for computer and internet neophytes. ``We are confident that once users try HomeFreeWeb.com, they will make the switch from their current `paid-for' ISP to our free service,' says Hubers. ``We project that we will attract 500,000 subscribers across Canada within one year - and our technology is ready for it.' HomeFreeWeb.com's interface is a highly functional toolbar that displays ads and gives users quick access to the site features and online services. The toolbar is created as a desktop window that can be docked or floating but cannot be closed or moved off the user's screen. Using proprietary `MaxTrack' technology, HomeFreeWeb.com can automatically track user activity and compile comprehensive demographic and psychographic profiling. This ``supertargeting' means that users will see advertising targeted to their specific interests. HomeFreeWeb was created by TurboShuttle Inc., a Canadian company based in Markham, Ontario. Started in 1999, TurboShuttle provides innovative, leading-edge web based services across Canada. -30- For further information: Martha Grant, (416) 924-4442 ext. 26, mgrant@apexpr.com TURBOSHUTTLE INC. has 1 releases in this database.
