Propel's mission is simple - we are dedicated to improving the end user's Internet experience. The company's first endeavor has been to solve a problem that affects approximately over 38.5 million U.S. Internet users - slow Internet dial-up connections. While high-speed broadband solutions can address this frustration, not everyone has access to high-speed broadband. Propel provides a solution that is fast, affordable, easy to deploy, and available anywhere where a modem, low-speed broadband (eg, iDSL, 256K DSL, etc), satellite, or wireless laptop Internet access exists. Propel was founded in November 1999 by serial Silicon Valley entrepreneur Steve Kirsch, who also founded Infoseek (acquired by The Walt Disney Corporation), Frame Technology, developer of FrameMaker (acquired by Adobe) and Mouse Systems Corporation (a pioneer in computer peripherals). The Propel team is comprised of a unique blend of experienced management team, proven technology experts, software developers, and network deployment professionals.
