INYC Begins Free DSL (FDSL) Installations
Brings True Democracy to the Internet

NEW YORK, March 15, 2000 — INYC- a New York-based company, with an established reputation for providing high-speed Internet access to small- to large-sized businesses as well as residences, through its unique digital subscriber line (DSL) applications, today announced the beginning of DSL installations for the first “Beta Group” of subscribers to the company’s unprecedented "Free DSL" (FDSL) service. 

The service allows subscribers to obtain DSL service at low or no cost through a system of earned credits called "i-bates."  i-bates are earned through a wide variety of interactions with INYC FDSL sponsors, which include using search engines, downloading free software, subscribing to free newsletters, and many others.  INYC FDSL subscribers receive an Internet connection that is 20 times faster than standard 28.8k modem. DSL enables people to use the Internet in ways never imagined before. This offers an unprecedented range of possibilities for downloading software, playing interactive games, utilizing audio and video communications and much more.

"The reaction we have been receiving since we started taking early sign-ups in January has been incredible," said Sam Pollak, co-founder of New York based INYC.  "INYC’s powerful marketing abilities and aggressive approach to its services will help them become a key player in the broadband arena. We feel, the level of cooperation that we have received from FDSL members during this process is indicative of the way our Free DSL deployment will conduct for the rest of our rollout."

DSL Reports, an independent industry watchdog that bases its ratings on feedback from DSL users across the country, has repeatedly given INYC its highest ratings in the areas of customer service, technical support and best value among the many accolades (http://www.dslreports.com). Steven A. Bruno, Vice President of Business Development, describes the introduction of the unprecedented FDSL service following the company's proven track record of quality service as part of "a formula that spells success.  We are extremely excited to be able to offer Internet users across the country a way to get high speed access for free," Bruno said. "INYC’s FDSL, will finally make the Internet truly democratic and allow every user to take full advantage of the incredible benefits it offers. We are confident that our service, with the high level of quality and reliability we provide, will quickly become benchmark for the broadband revolution,” he said.

INYC is currently taking orders for FDSL nationwide and is deploying the service to residences on the east coast, with the expectations to expand the FDSL service nationwide later this year.
