World Internet Now

This company was established in 2004 as an alternative to AOL, achieving significant success by expanding nationwide. It also opened a local computer store and manufactured private-labeled desktop PCs. The company is best known for its collaboration with Betallic (a subsidiary of Enterprise Capital Group, part of Enterprise Rent-A-Car) to create “Send a Balloon,” the very first e-greeting site of its kind. However, despite its innovation, it was ahead of its time. Following the introduction of DSL, which reduced profits by 80%, the company was eventually sold.
