Walmart.com to roll out Net access

[Mikal]

Story

"After a much delayed
start, Walmart.com will finally roll out its own Internet
service this fall with America Online, offering unlimited
access for less than $10 a month."


Damn, I AM excited now!

"You've got mail on aisle 6."

I guess they had to have something to go against Bluelight.com and KMart
AOL though ehhh..........

What if you picked up a can of peanuts and it said &quot;You've got DEEZ NUTS!&quot;

the distance companies will go from their core competencies amazes me! Walmart has NOTHING in common with internet access. I don't know quite what they think they'll gain.

Imagine:

*Hmm, I need internet access*
*Well, I hear Walmart has internet access*
*Yeah, and didn't they team up with an established, reputable company&quot;*
*Oh, you mean AOL?*

...

c'mon people! Really!

Cheap crappy internet service, just like everything else in walmart.

Ever 5 mins that damned smily face will pop up saying &quot;Droping prices all over the store&quot;

IMHO, this will be worse than aol.

Screw DSL, I'm cancelling tomorrow. Sign me up!!!

 

[JohnnyKnoxville]

Wow i can only imagine how many popup ads they will spam you with.

Hopefully their tech support will be smarter than the nimrods that work at the stores.

This will market nicely with their wide and varied computer equipment selection.

 

[ThisIsMatt]

Actually, walmart will be joining with the Compuserve section of AOL...



hmmm, I haven't filled my &quot;call someone an idiot quota&quot; today...johnnyknoxville, you're an idiot. I get more popups at anandtech than I have with aol.

 

[AdamDuritz99]

POPUPS?

why does everyone say that AT has popus? last time i had a pop up here was when they started poping up every load of a page about 2 months ago. oh and no i dont use netscape.
