WorldSpy Ditches Free ISP
from the oh-well... dept
Whenever anyone asks me about free ISPs I've always recommended WorldSpy because it didn't come with any of the annoying advertisements that all the competition used. For some reason, not too many people took my advice and instead went with a better known free ISP name. Now, it's too late. Worldspy has apparently ditched the free ISP part of their business. That's too bad, but somewhat understandable. Their plan was to drive traffic to their site (which worked in my case) and use that traffic to make money off of e-commerce. Apparently, it didn't work too well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
