more news AltaVista Co said it registered 800,000 users for its Free Access Internet service in the past three months, making it the seventh-largest Internet service provider in the U.S. The company also launched a similar free dial-up service in Canada. AltaVista Free Access is powered by 1stUp.com, a company in which AltaVista's parent, CMGI INC owns a majority stake. 1stUp developed a new business model for free Internet access supported by advertisements. In lieu of paying for the service, customers have to view a permanent ad window on their screens. The ads can not be minimized but can be moved to the top or the bottom of the page to ease any viewing disruption. (Reuters 08:34 PM ET 11/15/99)
