Re: European Internet Stats- Deutsche Telekom, T-Online, AOL Europe Thread- Some interesting Internet access figures are bolded below. Europe is coming on strong from what I gather. I don't see why Deutshe Telekom would even considering purchasing a set-top decoder box specialist for their cable TV plant. German regulators are putting pressure on Deutsche Telekom to sell off their cable assets AND Deutsche Telekom has already said they would. They are spending money probably because they can't stand still while waiting for the right buyer. -MikeM(From Florida) PS Here are all the posts I can find I did on Deutsche Telekom. It's all cable plant related: Message 11103504 Message 11048027 Message 11029109 Message 11027372 *********************** German Telecom May Expand Business MUNICH, Germany 13 Feb, 2000-- Seeking to capitalize on Internet growth in Europe, telecom giant Deutsche Telekom reportedly is working on deals to offer high-speed Internet access over cable television lines and to expand outside its home base of Germany. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported in its weekend edition that Telekom had reached a deal with Munich-based Kirch media group to purchase 51 percent of its subsidiary Beta Research for almost $500 million (1 billion marks). Beta Research developed the set-top decoder box for Kirch's digital television venture, and the next generation box will also have the capability to provide Internet access, according to the newspaper report. A Telekom spokesman declined to comment on the reports. A Kirch spokesman would say only that discussions were ongoing. Both companies confirmed last week that they wanted to cooperate in developing technology for multimedia, but were not specific. The Sueddeutsche newspaper also said Telekom and Commerzbank are considering forming a joint venture to turn Telekom's Internet service, T-Online, into an international service that could better compete with AOL Europe. T-Online is Europe's biggest Internet provider, with 4.2 million customers -- almost all in Germany. AOL Europe, a joint-venture of media giant Bertelsmann and America Online, has 3.8 million members, mainly in Britain and Germany.**
