Pay-as-you-surf Internet access takes off
Prepaid Internet access is moving into the mainstream.
The business, just $30 million last year, is expected to almost double by 2004, says researcher In-Stat/MDR. It is being pushed by big players such as AOL (Parent: TWX), AT&T (T) and Sprint (FON) and smaller companies such as Budget Dialup and MaGlobe. This summer, Wal-Mart (WMT) started selling prepaid cards from AOL. Services differ. To use them, you need a computer and a phone line. To get AOL prepaid, for example, consumers may buy a $14.99 starter kit at Wal-Mart, good for 500 minutes. The kit includes a software CD and log-in and password that specifies your account. Once installed, the software activates Web access, tracks your time and tells you when you're running out of minutes. More can be bought from AOL's Web site or by buying a refill card.
