Company Description:

Zango, Inc. is an online media company providing consumers free access to a large catalog of free, sought-after online videos, games, music, tools and utilities. Much like television, this content is funded by advertising and is therefore free to the consumer. Because of the Internet and digital technology, massive amounts of new online content are now available. Consumers typically access this content for free. However, Web publishers, content creators and providers arenÆt able to earn a living from their products. Unlike publications and other subscription-based models from the print and television industries, online consumers have proven reluctant to pay a monthly subscription fee for access to online content and entertainment.
