NetZero Announces Wireless Advertising Initiative Utilizing QUALCOMM BREW Platform Technology

Mar 29,2001
"Since NetZero was founded, it has developed innovative technologies that have
helped marketers and advertisers more effectively reach online consumers," said
Mark R. Goldston, NetZero chairman and chief executive officer.

"The development of HardCell marks the first time the company will have the
opportunity to extend its targeting technology to mobile devices, which we
believe is a key growth market. We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity
to join with a technology leader such as QUALCOMM in developing this initiative
for the BREW platform," said Goldston.

Once launched, HardCell will give application and service providers the ability
to reach customers while they are searching for entertainment and sports events,
checking news headlines and weather forecasts, checking stocks or playing games.
Advertisers will be able to include color images, text and animation formats
based on the graphics capability of each wireless device creating a richer
advertising experience.

Keeping in line with the mobility aspect of wireless, advertisers will also be
able to serve regional specific targeted ads even as the user travels out of his
or her local area. For example, if a Los Angeles customer is traveling in Las
Vegas, the ads they receive may be localized to the Las Vegas area while they
are there.

The BREW platform allows developers to create applications that operate on
BREW-enabled handsets with QUALCOMM CDMA integrated circuits, the current
standard in the wireless market.

Free ISPs: A Thing of the Past
Mar 28, 2001, 02:33 PM ET
By Shobha Ramswamy


.....This does signal the end of the free ISP model in the traditional sense. Right now, the business is confined to just casual Internet users. According to Charles Ardai, Juno`s president and chief executive, “We are probably entering the stage in the evolution of the Internet when it goes from being basically free to being something where a component is free, but it is basically paid for.”

Towing the line, NetZero has also limited the number of free online hours to 40 per month. This alone saves the company nearly $50 million to $60 million per year in telephone fees. Subscribers who choose to be online for more than 40 hours, will have to pay $9.95 to receive unlimited usage.

By January 2001, it managed to convert 30,000 free users into paying customers. NetZero has about 8.4 million registered users.

Commenting on the move, Charles S. Hilliard, NetZero chief financial officer said, "In light of the challenging advertising environment, we have acted quickly to develop innovative ways to generate revenues while minimizing costs. We will continue to introduce attractive, fee–based revenue programs that would enable NetZero to continue to grow its user base while helping us achieve our ultimate goal of profitability.".......

am 09.05.2001 solls die neuen zahlen geben.nach den katastrophalen vorhersagen,kann es nur besser werden....
