NetZero, the company that's been famous for offering free dial-up Internet access, announced Monday that it will offer free wireless Internet service. The company is backing up the plan with TV, print and online advertisements.

NetZero doesn't have a wireless broadband network of its own. Instead, it's renting capacity on Clearwire Corp.'s network. The same network uses Sprint Nextel Corp. to provide "Sprint 4G" data service. Several cable companies, including Comcast Corp., also resold access to Clearwire's network under their own brand.

The company also announced two mobile wireless data solutions including a mobile hot-spot router and a USB modem, called NetZero 4G Hotspot and NetZero 4G Stick, respectively. Both of these devices are 4G-only and will access the Internet via Clear's 4G wireless coverage. The NetZero 4G Hotspot is actually a rebranded version of the Clear Spot Apollo 4G and offers exactly the same feature set.
