COSTA MESA, Calif. -- NetPack Inc. (www.netpackage.com) announced plans to release its "First Internet Access Card" by early summer. Similar to a pre-paid telephone smart card, the card will allow a retail store purchaser to gain Internet access immediately without any initial software.
Frank Jakubaitis, president of NetPack, said the card will address concerns about credit card security over the Internet and bring pre-paid Internet access to the point of sale for providers of these services.
"NetPack's First Internet Access Card also will be used for access to a growing number of public Internet access kiosks and services across the United States," he said. "Some of these companies have planned to add a simple modem access line for a lap top connection, in lieu of having the actual computer available in airport locations."
The card will be available initially to ISPs that wish to bring their services to the public through the retail store environment. It will be pre-manufactured to accommodate the new NetPack anti-theft bar code provisional feature.
