Free Internet Access Is Profitable In Egypt

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday September 9, 2002 @10:45AM from the fat-cats-splitting-quarters dept.

prostoalex writes "With the demise of free Internet access providers, it's interesting to see this model working in Egypt, where the state-owned telecom allows people to dial-up for free as long as they pay the regular phone access fees. Associated Press quotes the phone line charges being 25 cents per hour. The ISPs that promote free Internet access from Telecom Egypt are then given their share of the profit."
