FREE INTERNET ACCESS

Network television is free because advertisers pay the cost of producing the shows in return for marketing their products to a vast audience. Similarly, many Internet providers now provide free Internet accounts in exchange for displaying advertisements on your computer screen or tracking your online usage for marketing purposes. Many of these free Internet accounts have limitations or restrictions that change over time, so read their descriptions carefully.

To find the latest and greatest free Internet accounts, visit the Internet 4 Free website (http://www.internet4free.net), or try one of the following:

DotNow	http://www.dotnow.com
Juno	http://www.juno.com
NetZero	http://www.netzero.net

Rather than set up your own Internet account, just visit one of the larger public libraries that have computers connected to the Internet. Libraries offer free Internet access, although they may place a time limit and charge a fee if you need to print anything out.
