Netscape-Branded ISP Launching February 2004

Posted by timothy on from the not-a-bad-price dept.

Guppy06 writes "I'm too lazy to change my homepage in Netscape 7 to something else, and that's where I discovered an ad leading towards what appears to be a trial run of a new Netscape-branded ISP. While this isn't as momentous as, say, Netscape bundled with AOL would be, they seem to be aiming at Juno and NetZero with their price of $9.95/month ($1.00/month to participate in the trial run ending in February). This may just end up being a fizzle, or it could be part of a two-pronged attack on MSN by AOL."

  1. Dial-up? by LordK3nn3th · · Score: 0, Troll

    This looks stupid. If you need dialup (who does nowadays?), get dialup worth your money-- that is, NOT costing $10 (which will be what this costs after March).

    I don't see what's so special about "Netscape" dial-up.

    Never criticize religion on Slashdot. You will be modded down for "Troll" no matter how factual it is.
  2. Netscape is superior. by Adolph_Hitler · · Score: 0, Troll

    Netscape is superior for the average user. AIM/iCQ is built into netscape, thats more important than every new feature Mozilla has over netscape. Netscape supports more plugins also. Mozilla may be better, but they have no idea what the user wants nor do they care. They buiild for what nerds like you want and thats why everyone uses bloated slow buggy hackable IE.
