 PROFILE
Tiscali, which brought free Internet access to Italy, is expanding throughout Europe. It has become one of the continent's top ISPs along with Deutsche Telekom's T-Online with the acquisition of World Online (4 million users), and grew further by buying France's Liberty Surf (1 million users). In Italy, some 2 million customers use Tiscali's no-fee dial-up Internet access. The service is not truly free: Tiscali collects a portion of fees from local calls, which are metered. However, Tiscali offers to pay local phone charges for subscribers who modify their browsers to display a small window containing advertisements. Major shareholders include chairman and founder Renato Soru.
