  ISP-Planet - Marketing - Simply NetZero
NetZero may no longer be the "defender of the free world" as it moves to a paid subscriber model, but that doesn't mean it's given up its plucky underdog status in the superleague of ISPs.
NetZero's net loss for the quarter widened to $42.1 million, up from $26.9 million for the same period a year ago.
NetZero's advertising and commerce revenues were better than halved, down from $18.5 million last year to $7.8 this year.

NetZero HiSpeed 3G, or third generation dial-up, is the fastest dial-up service(see Note) on the market today.
NetZero's goal, from the beginning, has been to own the "value-priced" segment of the dial-up business—to be the cheap option of choice.
NetZero HiSpeed is aimed at dial-up users who want faster access and aren't prepared to pay for broadband or who don't have it available in their areas.

NetZero also spent a year developing the software that will make its advertising interactive, nonintrusive, and something the user will want to use, according to Burr.

Netzero does automatically log off, but I have found that it's usually 3-4 hours into a session, and rare if you are not a heavy user.
Netzero Platinum does still have a bar across the screen- but it docks either up top or on bottom, is is very small compared to the other banner bar (try less than one inch tall).
The beauty of this program is that Netzero downloads both the free and the Platinum service in one easy to use program- you don't even have to tell it which one you want.

 NetZero Is (Sort Of) Keeping The Name - Forbes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
NetZero's (nasdaq: NZRO - news - people) three-year deal to sponsor the NBA on NBC halftime show couldn't have come cheap (an old report pegged it at $20 million a year, although NetZero denies it was that high).
And most people who viewed the ads probably found it distasteful that a struggling erstwhile-free ISP (that reported a third-quarter net loss of $33.6 million, nonetheless) would be blowing large amounts of cash on what surely must be some of the most expensive advertising real estate available.
NetZero officially launched its service back in 1998, and one of its claims to fame was that it grew its user base from nothing pretty fast and pretty cheaply.

 Wired News: ISPs Juno and NetZero to Merge
Both NetZero, based in Westlake Village, California, and Juno, based in New York, are money-losing companies that have been trying to diversify away from the free-Internet service model, one that has been a hit with consumers, but not with the advertisers who are needed to pay for the service.
Although both NetZero and Juno still offer Internet service for free to most of their customers, they have both been adding new premium fee-based services, which are now considered essential to building a viable business.
NetZero, which has some 8.6 million registered users, and 3.7 million active users (defined as those who use the service at least a month), recently added a NetZero Platinum service in which customers pay a $9.95 monthly fee.

 NetZero to Start Charging For Internet Access
For the first time, ad-supported ISP NetZero Inc. -- the self-proclaimed "Defenders of the Free World" -- plans to charge patrons of its Internet access service, but only those users who exceed a threshold of 40 hours online in a single calendar month.
NetZero isn't alone in tweaking its business model in the face of difficulties.
NetZero said its new policy will affect a small percentage of its user base, noting that in November 2000 only about 12 percent of NetZero members who used its free Internet access service surpassed the 40 hour mark.

 NetZero sues Juno, alleging patent infringement
In its suit against Juno, NetZero alleges that company's window, The Juno Guide, is nearly identical to NetZero's ZeroPort window and violates a patent for which NetZero is the sole licensee, the company said in a statement Wednesday.
NetZero seeks to stop Juno from using the technology and to collect damages for the alleged patent infringement.
Juno on Wednesday denied it is infringing on the patent and said in a statement that NetZero is infringing one of its own patents, the subject of a suit Juno brought against NetZero on June 1.

 NetZero Lands Alliance with NFO Worldwide
NetZero's fledgling market research business got a jump-start Wednesday, when the ad-supported ISP announced a deal with consumer research giant NFO Worldwide.
The deal is exceptionally good news for NetZero, which has been attempting to turn its user tracking technology and demographic data into a stand-alone research package -- hopefully weaning itself somewhat off of ad revenue as its chief source of revenue.
NetZero also counts 5.7 million users, although it is not known at press time how many those are "active users" -- that is, how many use the service more than once per month.
