PROFILE |
 |
rStar Networks (formerly ZapMe!, and before that, Satellite Online Solutions) has switched from free to fee. The company's old business plan -- which provided free computers and Internet service for schools -- was repeatedly zapped by consumer advocates because it included running banner ads and monitoring students' Web surfing habits for data, which it sold to advertisers. rStar has shifted its focus to fee-paid high-speed Internet access, via satellite, for corporate, education, and user community clients. Its operations include data delivery and networking services. Israeli satellite communications operator Gilat Satellite Networks owns 51% of rStar.
