AOL to Sell Cheap PCs to Minorities and
Seniors
08/12/2004 02:16 AMAmerica Online on Thursday said it plans to sell a low-priced PC
targeting low-income and minority households who agree to sign up for
a year of dialup Internet service. The online unit of Time Warner Inc
will begin selling the computer and service at Office Depot this
month. The launch is part of a broad strategy at the recovering online
service, which watched 2.2 million members abandon its service.
Over the past two years, the company has attempted to find new sources
of revenue by appealing to different categories of customers including
the Spanish-speaking and teen markets. Executives said it hoped to
attract the 27 percent of U.S. households comprised of seniors,
African Americans and Hispanics who do not yet own a PC. The computers
will come configured with a simple desktop with large icons that send
users to specific areas of the AOL service or applications loaded on
the computer. They can also be preconfigured for Spanish language
speakers.
