Midcontinent Rolls Out Portal

Midcontinent Communications debuted its Midco.net (www.midco.net) portal Tuesday.

The MSO said the portal will allow its subscribers to access e-mail and view free content including news, weather and sports.

Midcontinent is also rolling out premium fare, including “MidcoNet Plus,” which includes samplings from the best premium content on the Web, and “MidcoNet Tunes,” a $7.95-per-month online-music-subscription service with more than 2 million tracks.

“Our new Web portal, combined with music and best-of-the-Net content, reflects our continuing commitment to offer our customers an unparalleled Internet experience," Midcontinent vice president of public policy W. Tom Simmons said in a prepared statement.
