A company tried that in 1999/2000, just before the dot com bust.

You got a $500 PC for free, but were locked into a contract with an ISP and had to spend 10 hours a week on the PC, and 1/3 of the screen was ads at all times.

We're moving in that direction, but nothing is free.

What’s the catch?

Among others things, it’s a f*cking Compaq.
