Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On November 22, 1999, Internet America, Inc., a Texas corporation (the
"Company"), acquired all the issued and outstanding securities of PDQ.Net,
Incorporated, a Texas corporation ("PDQ.Net"), for 2,425,000 shares of Internet
America common stock. As a result of the purchase, PDQ.Net became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. The Company became the indirect owner of all of the
assets of PDQ.Net, which include approximately 40,000 individual and corporate
internet access accounts and the computer equipment used to service those
accounts. The Company intends to continue to use these assets to provide
Internet access to customers. The acquisition was effected pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 12, 1999, by and among PDQ.Net,
certain of its shareholders ("Shareholders") and the Company. The acquisition
will be accounted for as a purchase.

         To the best knowledge of the Company, at the time of the acquisition
there was no material relationship between (i) PDQ.Net and the Shareholders on
the one hand and (ii) the Company, or any of its affiliates, any director or
officer of the Company, or any associate of such director or officer on the
other hand.

         The consideration paid by the Company was 2,425,000 shares of Internet
America common stock. The consideration was determined by arms-length
negotiations between the parties to the Agreement and Plan of Merger.
