 PROFILE
There's no such thing as a free lunch ... but free Internet access is a piece of cake. Freeserve popularized no-fee Internet access in the UK and has become the country's #1 ISP, with about 2 million active accounts. The service is not actually free -- local phone calls in the UK are metered, and Freeserve receives a portion of the telephone tolls charged to Web-surfing customers. Online advertising and e-commerce at the company's portal contribute additional revenues. Freeserve is working with British Telecommunications to develop wireless Internet services for mobile phone users. French ISP Wanadoo owns about 95% of Freeserve and is buying the rest.
