    I presume it just means that Eircom had registered this company only to decide that they no longer want/need it so they are essentially unregistering it.

    I assume that when the company was registered, there was an intention to offer a product/service called freesurf.

    I wonder what its would have been.

    Maybe something along the lines of the Freeserve ISP which was the first in the UK to offer pay-as-you-go Internet access.

    Shortly after Freeserve was set up, Oceanfree brought out a similar package in Ireland. Freeserve have since brought out offer flat-rate and broadband in addition to pay-as-you-go.

    From the minutes of our meeting with Eircom last year:
    He (Pat Galvin) went on to add that Eircom have been considering unmetered packages since 1997. When Esat however introduced their SNL package in 1999, Eircom did not believe that a single unlimited package was economically viable and therefore could not compete against it.
