AOL Ready to End Dial-Up Internet

AOL has announced it will discontinue dial-up internet service at the end of September.

The company said in an online statement that the decision was made as a result of its routine evaluation of products and services. The decision affects “associated software, the AOL Dialer software and AOL Shield browser, which are optimized for older operating systems and dial-up internet connections.” All will be eliminated.

Many industry analysts credit AOL’s original business structure, America Online, with opening the door to internet access to the masses. The iconic audio message, “You’ve Got Mail,” announcing incoming email helped usher in electronic communication for many people.
