Aug 29, 2005 -- AOL offers free e-mail, other Net news

Lots of Web users are surfing with high-speed connections these days. Dial-up is going the way of the Do-Do bird. As a result, AOL is now offering content for free. People have been abandoning the company because it costs so much to subscribe. So, the company is catching on and offering a Yahoo-type experience with portals and free content. The company is also offering free e-mail through its Instant Messenger site, aim.com. So, get your free account today. In other Net news, a third player is sneaking into the game. “Wireless Mesh” and “Wi-Max” are a few of the names used for this service. For the next 18 months or so, the two monopoly industries – cable and telephone – are going to dominate and gouge us. But after that, wireless will be available and it will bring the prices down.
