S.W, MRTO... MerchantOnline.com Offers Clients Free Internet Access; E-Commerce Businesses Relieved of Monthly Dial-Up Fees... BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 1999-- MerchantOnline.com Inc. (OTCBB:MRTO), a leader in providing one-stop solutions for merchants who set up shop in the Internet, announced today that beginning in December it is offering free Internet access to business customers nationwide. "As merchants venture into the e-commerce arena, many are wary of the technology and the costs of doing business online," said Tarek Kirschen, MerchantOnline.com's president and CEO.
