FYI -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Free Net services in UK beat AOL 2-1 Free Internet services in the UK have overtaken paid subscriptions among new PC buyers. The proportion of recent buyers in the UK that are online using free-ISPs (25 percent) is higher than that for paid Internet and online service subscriptions (11 percent each), according to researchers at Inteco. Freeserve, with a 36 percent share of all service providers mentioned, has displaced America Online (AOL), with 19, as the leader among recent PC buyers. AOL held the top spot for the previous five waves of research. The Internet is now second only to games as the most common use of a PC, but it's still not cited as the reason for purchase, Inteco reported.
