[Oxfam GB](http://www.oxfam.org.uk) has launched itself as a free Internet Service
Provider and stands to raise funds from users’ local dial-up telephone calls. Teaming
up with Web portal and media company Yahoo! UK Ltd, the [new service](http://194.200.59.236/yahoo/info.htm)
is sponsored by Friends Provident. CD’s for the service can be picked up from any
Oxfam store.

Yahoo! had previously launched a free ISP with Waterstone’s Bookshop.Unfortunately
the full page and quater page adverts in The Guardian and other national newspapers
announcing the Yahoo! Oxfam service contained an incorrect URL: www.oxfam.yahoo.
co.uk didn’t seem to work at the time of publication, although [oxfam.yahoo.co.uk](http://oxfam.yahoo.co.uk)
did.

Interestingly the service doesn’t seem to have a name, such as Oxfam Online.
