AT&T, Microsoft and BT in Wireless Collaboration Reuters --From AOL.-- Cooters LONDON (March 30) - British Telecommunications Plc, AT&T Corp and Microsoft Corp said on Thursday they will cooperate on wireless Internet services for their customers around the world. The companies said in a joint statement that they expect to start trials of some of the services this autumn with commercial rollout planned for soon after that. The three already collaborate in wireless technology, but Thursday's news brings Microsoft onto a firmer footing in wireless data. Despite its dominance in the desktop personal computer market, it has lagged behind in wireless. Based on Microsoft's platform for mobile data services, the companies said the services they will develop could be used on AT&T and BT's existing networks as well as their planned high-speed systems for future wireless data. AT&T will use EDGE or Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution networks, which will help bring U.S. networks up to new generation standards in Europe. BT will use the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems) standard, the more sophisticated step to next-generation mobile services. The companies said this combination would enable users to roam globally without any hitches and would offer high-speed wireless Internet Protocol services. Microsoft's platform also supports open standards, so application developers will find it easy to build extra service offerings, the companies said. BT and Microsoft already work together in wireless data, to develop applications for corporate and consumer use on existing networks. BT and AT&T are allied in a bid to create seamless mobile communications services worldwide. REUTERS 05:13 03-30-00
