Norcom 2000 Internet was one of the first Internet service providers that provided networks in the United States in the 1990s. Norcom was incorporated in 1996 and had its operations in Albuquerque, New Mexico; it provided dial-up Internet services to homes and businesses in New Mexico and several other states. Norcom’s subscriber numbers grew and at one point in its operations, the company had over fifty thousand customers making the independent internet service provider amongst the largest in the Southwestern region. They provided several dial-up Internet connection plans that allowed for connection speeds of 33. 6 kbps and 56 kbps, which are now considered relatively fast when observing the first stages of the evolution of the consumer Internet. Internet service was offered with free email accounts, and web hosting services, as well as an option to consult with technical support agents at any time of the day. The availability of reliable connections and good customer support, as well as positioning itself as a company, was superior to the large national Internet Service Providers of that period. However, with the introduction of high-speed internet through cable and DSL in the early 2000s, dial-up providers like Norcom started facing a challenge in the market. However, the unfortunate events did not last long as the company was declared bankrupt and closed in year 2001 like many other Regional ISPs, during the early period of the Internet boom. Despite its small lifespan, it contributed to the provision of the Internet to thousands of households and businesses in its operation areas.
