On 19 August the mighty Reg is launching its very own UK virtual ISP, the fetchingly-titled Vulture Capitalist ISP, or vcisp.net for short.

The service is an affiliate deal between Situation Publishing and Affinity Internet and will offer UK Reg fans top-quality internet access products at competetive prices including, wait for it, self-install ADSL. Oh yes.

We've taken a lot of time and trouble to mould the new service to the demands of Register readers, and we think you'll be suitably impressed with the results.

And that's all we're going to say at present. Prices and other details will be announced on the day. In the meantime, if you'd like us to email you full pre-launch details towards the end of next week, drop us a line here. Mark the subject of the email "visp", and we'll get back to you. ®
