WAL-MART... AS STABLE AS STABLE CAN BE... :: freedomlist.com
Walmart.com to roll out net access
After a much delayed start, Walmart.com (WMT) will finally roll out its own Internet service this fall with America Online, offering unlimited access for less than $10 a month.
The details, along with Wal-Mart's plans to prosper in an economic downturn, were revealed at the retailer's annual shareholders' meeting here Friday.
Wal-Mart's service, called Wal-Mart Connect, will be based on AOL's CompuServe platform.
``Our aim is to bring more of our customers online to providethem with affordable accessibility,'' said Cynthia Lin, a companyspokeswoman, in an interview following the meeting.
``We're about easy access to more Wal-Mart,'' said Jeanne Jackson, chief executive of Walmart.com, in an address to shareholders.
One example: Customers will eventually be able to refill prescriptions online, so their medicine would be ready for them at their local Wal-Mart store, she said.

This would have been good news if they weren't tying up with AOL's CompuServe.
A friend of mine signed a 3-year contract with CS and can't wait to be done with it.
It is as restrictive as AOL, has fatal errors, crashes, disconnects, can only run firewall at medium and the mail doesn't handle attachments or images very well.
(P.S.
Opqual -- I moved post to this board so it would get the attention of the people looking for cheap ISPs.)

I was hoping for a Bluelight-type ISP from Wal-Mart...
It would make sense...
Ads for Wal-Mart.
Well, if it's LOWER than $10 I might decide to get it.
But then again, it AOL.

You got that one right, Pete.

Just want to say I've had Walmart Connect now for over a year, and am very happy with it.
It's $9.94 a month unlimited service...
No contracts. It may be a generic version of AOL, but I've tried AOL, Juno, etc...
And Walmart has been the best, and cheapest.
Thanks
