If you live in the Bay Area, you can now get what Hyper Net USA is billing as free Internet services for Bay Area residents and businesses who do not mind having 3×1 advertisements running down just outside of their browsers as they surf. Of course this free service does have a $30 sign-up fee. And users must fill out a 30-40 question marketing survey. Users must also complete additional marketing surveys, every now and then, according to Hyper Net president Jay Shah. The service may not be around for ever, though. Singh says Hyper Net will be evaluating how the service, which has over 116,000 subscribers in Japan, flies in the US over the next six months and will continue with it, if we can make it profitable, after which, who knows?
