Free Internet access: When is it suitable?

Article Abstract:

A study examining the reasons behind the adoption of pricing policy by Internet Service Providers (ISP) is presented. Considering the period of 1990s and 2001, when most of the European Internet Service Providers (ISPs) gave free Internet access, the contract between the ISPs and telephone operators involved offering money to each other. This is termed as being more profitable as compared to setting individual prices by each of them.
