That is why when I read about Zecco.com, the free online stock trading site backed by the funder of Skype, my eyes rolled over. Have I heard this story before or what? Once and for all entrepreneurs, I would like to address the question that is on every Web 2.0 entrepreneur's mind: Is "FREE" a business model? Zecco – Is “Free” a Business Model?
