Free Net access in the future?
C|NET - June 5, 1998, 3:05 p.m. PT

While Internet service providers angle for customers
with discounts of a few dollars per month, other
players are developing strategies to offer service for
free.

There are usually strings attached. In most cases,
users are required to view advertisements that pay
the ISP's bills--in a similar business model to the free
email services. But in a potential emerging trend,
analysts say large corporations are beginning to offer
free Internet access as a way of gaining online
customers and keeping them.
