Unmetered access sparks internet bunfight
Article Abstract:
Freeserve faces competition from a number of internet service providers offering free internet access, though these new offers may have conditions attached, and annual or monthly charges. The threat faced by Freeserve is from large companies' willingness to make losses from the internet in order to sell other services. Telewest, BT and NTL are among the competitors. Freeserve has developed content of its own and is signing agreement with content providers in order to attract users and advertising.
