| Thanks for mentioning
them again. If you put webwideisp in the forum search you will get
about 13 threads where it has been discussed, and it is in the
"Cheapest..." list as Web Wide ISP. They were first mentioned on
Freedomlist May 2001 but didn't actually launch the ISP until June
2002. It was supposed to be free, but isn't, although it can be free
if you follow their program. All-in-all, it doesn't look too bad
with unlimited hours using UUNet access numbers with no setup fee at
$6.95 per month paid monthly or $6.25 per month paid annually. It
includes 1 e-mail address, and although webspace is included, I
still haven't been able to find out how much. But I think people
have a bit of a bad feeling about them because it was advertised as
free at first.

It isn't clear whether a friend
emailed, or you received unsolicited commercial email (spam) from
webwideisp.com
I try not to support spammers. | |

A lot of people signed up to be
notified when the service became available. It took over a year
before it was actually available. Is it possible that you requested
to be notified? It would have been close to two years ago
now.

The events of the past few years
have certainly diminished our ability to trust Corporations. Did
anybody see Dot1Web’s
CEO, Bob Demaio in the paper recently? Was anyone suckered in by
those claims of assets and valuation? Christ, even former Enron CEO,
Kenneth Lay was at home screaming "bull$%@#!"
Over the past
year, our confidence in the basic institutions of society has
suffered blow after blow. The dotcom collapse taught us we can't
trust the stock market. Dot1Web taught us we can't
trust the regulators who are supposed to supervise it.
The
one I really want to see in the hot seat is Bob Demaio, the guy who
apparently pulled all those financial deals, with Freedom
Motorcycles, that read like Chinese pig Latin. Forget the judicial
system, I want to see this guy worked over by a gauntlet of laid-off
Dot1Web employees armed
with barbed clubs and junior high anatomy manuals. Demaio should be
walking like the guy in the Levis Super Bowl commercial.
Magical commodity that is difficult to earn and easy to
lose, and a healthy skepticism will always be needed to help you
avoid getting conned, because people like Demaio will always produce
more crap than a herd of Holsteins grazing in a prune field. I
believe it is not enough to point fingers, we must learn from Mr.
Demaio as well.
With Dot1web execs hiding losses
like they were frozen Three Musketeer bars in Anna Nicole Smith's
house, to their CFO shredding paper like Captain Hook rolling a
joint, Nevadans are finally putting Demaio under the microscope and
they still can't see their investments. Hey, if you were pulling in
ten figures a year, and you started to see your dynasty crumble like
a Ritz cracker in Jiminy Glick's back pocket, wouldn't you cook the
books at 451 degrees Fahrenheit, but you really don’t even have to
cook the books anymore, you just have to simmer them, because in the
present-day looking glass, Dot1web’s accounting practices
read, “Red is the new black”.
Throughout the 80's and 90's,
CEO's were treated like rock stars. Unfortunately, we've now reached
the point on Behind The Music where the ominous voice says, "But
just then, Dot1Web CEO,
Bob Demaio, decided they needed to go out for more beer..."
I don't want to see Mr. Demaio going to jail for three years
a minimum-security prison that doubles as a Country Club during the
day. I want Demaio and his clan to witness the damage that they
caused up close. I think they should be sentenced to community
service sorting the shoe bin at the local Salvation Army in a
low-income neighborhood to get a sense of how real people have to
get by. Make Mr. Demaio work the drive-thru at Jack In The Box so I
can literally hear that lying bastard's voice coming out of a
clown's mouth. Just don't drive away without checking that you got
everything you ordered because you will probably get screwed in the
drive through.
What I'd actually like to see is these guys
do hard time in hard prison. See how they like it when we let the
warden get creative with the books keeping their sentences. You want
to make sure this doesn't happen again, put these losers in with the
general population who are doing 10-20 for stealing a scintilla of
what these guys did. Then make sure there is a live "Big Brother"
shower-cam feed into every CEO's office in the country. Executives
are going to think twice about cheating the numbers as well as your
employees and investors, when they spot their CFO all lathered up
with a windchime hangin' from his rear end.
That’s just the
way I see it. | |
