MSN Ends DSL Deal With BellSouth
Microsoft Corp.’s MSN division is ending a two-year deal with BellSouth Corp. in which MSN leased digital subscriber lines from the regional telephone company and resold them under the MSN name to customers wanting high-speed Internet access.
Subscribers have until Nov. 12 to transfer their accounts to BellSouth’s management or other carriers but will receive free MSN 8 software and services for a year, MSN group product manager Lisa Gurry said.
MSN also will end a similar agreement for DSL leasing with SBC Communications Inc., Gurry said, but those details have not been worked out.
