PeoplePC, Inc.
Overview
PeoplePC might want to consider changing names to PeopleISP. The company first made a name for itself giving PCs away for "free" with the purchase of a multiyear membership to its Internet access service. In 2004 the company changed tack and began to focus on providing straightforward ISP service. It has dropped the PCs and now provides value-priced, narrowband Internet access to more than 1 million subscribers as a subsidiary of Internet service provider EarthLink. PeoplePC also offers a fee-based acceleration service to augment its dial-up speeds and a fee-based spam-blocking service.
