While dial-up is largely dead, it's interesting to note that AOL, one of the mainstays of dial-up connectivity, still claims to have 3.5 million dial-up customers. It's not clear how many of those people either couldn't get cancel-stingy AOL to close their account, or just put the subscription on a credit card they don't keep tabs on. Regardless, AOL dial-up competitor NetZero is braving onward -- announcing that they've signed an agreement with Clearwire allowing NetZero to sell wireless broadband. "NetZero has been delivering high quality, free and value-priced Internet access since 1998, and we believe this deal with Clearwire will give us the ability for the first time to bring affordably-priced, 4G high-speed mobile broadband service with 6 mbps to 10 mbps speed to the masses," insists Netzero.
