With no contracts or fees for Internet access, freenet.de stays true to its name. The company, claiming more than 3.2 million users, is one of Europe's largest ISPs, rivaling America Online and Deutsche Telekom's T-Online International. Also an Internet portal, the company offers e-commerce services and a German-language search engine. It provides online bidding and buying through a deal with atat.de and comparison shopping services through uCompare.de. Rounding out its e-commerce offerings, freenet.de owns a majority stake in business-to-business software developer Splendid Consulting GmbH & Co. MobilCom retains a 78% stake in freenet.de, which was spun off from the German wireless phone operator in 1999.
