Free internet access for Europe!
from the it-just-might-work dept
Currently internet users in Europe (including the UK) have to pay for all calls, including local calls (per minute). This has been a serious hurdle to increasing the amount people spend a online. Now it seems that a trans-atlantic venture might be willing to absorb the call charges (and still plan on making a profit). This would make internet access in Europe totally free! The big question is can there revenue model absorb the costs.
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
