Amati and The Microsoft Network Join ADSL Trial
"The GTE trial is an excellent opportunity to test ADSL technology in a data application," said James
Steenbergen, President and CEO of Amati. "With growing demand for faster Internet access, we believe
ADSL offers significant potential to satisfy users who want to upgrade their access connections from
existing, slower technologies.
"This will also be the first time telephone customers will be able to view ADSL technology as a viable
add-on to their existing service, enabling high-speed digital data to co-exist on the same line that
delivers their plain old telephone service (POTS)," noted Steenbergen.
For all trial participants, a desktop "client page" will be created on which the icon for MSN_, The
Microsoft Network, will appear, providing a friendly point-and-click link to MSN content at ADSL
speeds.
"We believe that MSN's interactive content and applications will shine over ADSL," said sr. director
Dan Rosen of MSN Services at Microsoft Corp. "Customers will really love MSN over ADSL from
GTE."
Because ADSL operates over a combination of existing network infrastructure and off-the-shelf
products, it can service as an alternative to cable modems because less than five percent of the CATV
plant in the United States has been upgraded to provide two-way cable service, said Sean Dalton,
GTE's Internet access/ ADSL product manager. (Editor's note: See attached ADSL Backgrounder)
