Dell to Launch U.S. Internet Service, Downplays Talk of Acquisition July 16, 1999 NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Dell Computer Corp. Chief Executive Officer Michael Dell Friday said the direct-sales computer giant will soon offer Internet-access service in the U.S. But he also downplayed speculation that the company may acquire Internet-service provider MindSpring Enterprises Inc. Dell told shareholders attending the company's annual meeting to expect an announcement soon regarding the company's Dell.Net service in the U.S. Dell launched the Internet service in parts of Europe last month. "You will see Dell aggressively enter the market for Internet access" in the U.S., Dell said, although he didn't cite a specific date for a product launch. Investors think Atlanta-based MindSpring might help Dell with its Internet-access plans because MindSpring has said twice within the past month that it is talking with an unidentified party for a possible deal. Last week, MindSpring canceled a scheduled July 13 meeting with analysts, citing the discussions.
