Verizon offers free online game hosting

By Steve Safran 

Verizon Communications is rolling out PlayLinc, a free hosting service for multiplayer games that works with XBox, Playstation2 and PCs. They’re going the ad-sponsored route, which is interesting. Before and after your game, you’ll see a sponsor’s ad. Not a bad tradeoff considering what people spend for game hosting. And you don’t need to be a Verizon subscriber to use the system – it’s open to all. World of Warcraft Clans: do battle!
