Internet Trailblazer INYC to Revolutionize Web Access 
With Launch of FDSL (Free DSL) 

Unprecedented New Program Brings True Democracy to the Internet 

NEW YORK , January 7, 2000 — Steven A. Bruno, co-founder of New York based INYC, announced today the launch of the company’s FDSL (Free DSL) Program, the first advertising subsidized DSL service to provide fast, "always on" internet access over regular phone lines in the customer’s home. Orders for INYC’s FDSL are already being taken over the company’s website at www.INYC.com. 

"The amount of time the average user spends waiting for connections to the
Internet to be established and then waiting for websites to download, combined with the prohibitive cost of faster methods of connecting are the two biggest obstacles preventing the Internet from becoming the true universal platform for all information, communication, and entertainment," Bruno said. "INYC’s FDSL will change that by making it possible for anyone with a computer to have a high-speed connection to the Web for little or no cost. Until now, DSL and other high-speed connections were available only to businesses or those who could afford it. We’re going to put a DSL connection in thousands of homes, making the entire Internet more accessible to more people than ever before," he said. 

INYC’s FDSL is made possible through support from advertisers and a strategic partnership with Internet Solution Partners, Inc., developer of the Conocer© intelligence database. Subscribers to the service will have an interactive banner visible on their screen whenever they are connected to the service. The banner will enable the subscriber to earn credits towards their service by interacting with the advertisers while they are on line, making the service either very low cost or totally free. "We are offering today the kind of service other Internet service providers are only dreaming about,” said INYC’s Bruno. "What’s more, INYC’s FDSL service will meet the same standards for quality and reliability that has made INYC an industry leader".

INYC is currently taking orders for FDSL nationwide, with actual installations to begin in the eastern states on March 15th.
