The first copy of Info Security Products Guide was released in the year 2003 with active participation of over 750 security companies from around the world. This first edition had over 500 pages and paid subscriptions were immediately received from all over the world. The first paid subscription from Asia-Pacific arrived from Japan, similarly the first paid subscription from Latin America arrived from Mexico, from United Kingdom for Europe and South Africa for Africa. Of course more than 70% of the paid subscription arrived from within U.S.A. The first guide was totally free from all sorts of advertisements. In the coming years we were tempted to make the guide's subscription free and support printing and distribution with advertisements. However we also did not want to lose focus of our prime goal which was to have qualified readers who actually used the guide instead of simply receiving it free every month and then not opening it to read it. Our experience proved that we could hold more serious readers with the subscription model. And till today, the Info Security Products Guide remains a paid subscription guide. Regretfully we do not mail free copies anymore.
