MALVEAUX: Here's a way to save money while surfing the Internet. Free wi-fi. Yep, free. But there is a catch. Clark Howard explains in the "Deal of the Week."</s>CLARK HOWARD, MONEY EXPERT: Suzanne, do I have a deal for you. It's one I'm really excited about, but it comes with some gotchas. It's a new offer from an old company called NetZero. It's available at netzero.com. And what it does is it allows you, when you're out and about, to surf the web wirelessly for free. It's what's known as a freemium business model. You buy a device from them, no contract required, that runs in your laptop for $50. That's what it costs to buy the little electronic gizmo. And then it allows you light web surfing for free as you travel about. Perfect for an infrequent traveler. Somebody who travels for business. The hotel charges a lot for Internet. Instead, you use your NetZero device. And look what they do. For free you get basic Internet use. Not a great amount. The idea is they introduce you to them and hope that you pay either $10 a month, $20 a month, or if you're a real big spender, you're paying a lot more. Typically most people will find they end up at about $10 a month. One thing you can't do with this, don't watch a lot of videos, don't listen to a lot of music. You stick to doing your e-mails and surfing the web, you should be just fine, maybe even for free.</s>MALVEAUX: For more money tips, check out Clark on the weekends.
