More ISP Problems For Bluelight
from the who-said-a-free-ISP-is-easy? dept
Bluelight has not been having good luck with its free ISP service. First, the company they were using, Spinway, went out of business. To solve that, K-Mart had to buy the remains of Spinway. Now that they own Spinway, they discovered that the company providing Spinway with its connections, Genuity, was messing everything up. So, this morning they had to ditch Genuity and switch to Worldcom and PSINet. Unfortunately this means all their access numbers have switched and people are going to have problems logging in. Maybe Genuity should stop trying to explain what they do and figure out how to actually do it.
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.
