From the Graveyard
You just read about EarthLink. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
MindSpring built Nationwide consumer dial-up Internet access, email and Web hosting. What became of it?
MindSpring brought Nationwide consumer dial-up Internet access, email and Web hosting to ISP. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its merger with EarthLink for US$3B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside EarthLink today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.

Its job passed to DSL — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
