Historical

Primary service offering is providing Metered Internet access services, connecting people to the Internet rated on a per minute basis.

The company was incorporated as an Interexchange (IXC) Long Distance telephone provider and created the Nation's first 10-10-2000 Internet access product. Without usernames or passwords, people could connect to the Internet by configuring their computers to dial 10-10-2000. The costs were charged to the customer's local phone bill as a toll call. Due to changes in the telecommunications industry, including market conditions, the 10-10-2000 product was shut down in early 2004.

Today, the Company's primary product offering remains dialup Internet access services spanning the United States as well as 47 different countries. In addition to dialup services, the company manages Wi-Fi Internet access services in 16 countries.
