Start-up, M2Z wants to provide free broadband

September 3, 2008

View for printing

M2Z http://www.m2znetworks.com/ is a small wireless start-up with a big goal: free broadband for the masses.

Milo Medin, M2Z's chairman and co-founder and a broadband pioneer, wants the ad-supported service to ultimately be available to 95% of the USA. To make that happen, the company must snag a chunk of wireless airwaves being auctioned next year by the Federal Communications Commission. If all goes according to plan, free broadband could be available as early as fall 2009.
