I even tried the one where you can get paid to keep the ads on screen. It still was not worth it. The fact that you agree to let your info go out to advertisers is enough to send me running in the other direction. It's bad enough you can't even answer your phone at home with all the telemarketers that call, I have to screen at home and at work to keep from getting totally aggravated.

news.cnet.com What does new Excite@Home service mean for AT&T? By John Borland Staff Writer, CNET News.com January 6, 2000, 12:00 p.m. PT Excite@Home's launch of a free Net access service this morning puts AT&T in a bit of an Internet pickle. On the one hand, the portal and Net access provider--which boasts AT&T as its biggest shareholder--needs to offer free Net access to compete with similar strategies from Yahoo and AltaVista. But the service now competes directly with AT&T's dial-up WorldNet offering, one of the largest Internet service providers (ISP) on the Net. AT&T did sign off on the deal, and the companies say there is no direct conflict. But Ma Bell is far from enthusiastic.
